Really enjoyed this sequel. Jeff and Tony are probably my favorite characters, and I liked that this book really included them a lot. I wondered which way this one was gonna go, and like Ron thought, I had it figured out, lol. I got nervous towards the end and was afraid it wouldn't end like i was hoping. I can't wait for the 3rd book to come out and see what wild ride happens next and how the boys' careers go from here.

Great start for this new author.

I really enjoyed this thriller novel by Nicholas Grady. An easy quick read and an exciting read. This was his second novel he wrote, and I thought it was better even than his first novel, Under the Bluffs -the first in this series.

I would recommend for fans of crime and thriller novels reading this novel but first you really need to read Under the Bluffs, as I don’t believe this is a standalone novel.

For the first two books he has written, I say a good job, Nicholas Grady.

Under the Water is a gripping continuation of Nicholas Grady's crime thriller series which doesn’t disappoint. From the first page, you'll be drawn in until you reach the final, unexpected twist. The pacing is just right making it impossible to put down. If you liked the first book, this sequel will be sure to please.

Good story, with twists and turns to keep you guessing. It's fun to see the two main characters starting to come into their own.
