Goodreads Synopsis: In this chilling, thrilling, underwater adventure, readers explore the world of a sunken wreck and the secrets it holds - secrets that have the power to heal, and to destroy.

My Review: Not much of a description on goodreads, I have to say. I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did, to be honest. I grabbed it off of my shelf because it was a small book, and it was something to read while my kobo and my phone were charging. I didn't know too much about diving, but the idea interested me, and I thought I'd give this book a shot. And that was an awesome idea. I'm glad I read this book, after having it sit on my shelf for who knows how long. It's about this girl Sandra, who has basically been stalking this guy Bryan, for some scheme her and her parents have come up with to find a wrecked ship that was previously owned by his family. I honestly thought she was some kind of gold digger at first, but that changed when I realized what her plan really was. Eventually she stayed at his house with his crazy family, and then the story took a different turn. Suddenly it was this awesome diving adventure turned murder mystery, and that's when it really hooked me. Everything started moving faster and I couldn't put the book down. Definitely check it out if you get the chance to! Thanks for reading.
