A scuba diving Mary Sue goes undercover on an island where a resort is allegedly being constructed. There's all kinds of pollution, and a murder or two.

Just a real slog.

Beter dan alle anderen

Read this series for the descriptions of the underwater scuba diving scenes. I borrowed the audio books from the library and read them in succession over a summer and I find myself still enjoying the underwater scenes and not enjoying the people or the mysteries much anymore.

Fin is reckless and stubborn and makes bad decisions. The fact that she is given the assignment by her father to infiltrate a mystery project as a professional diver is unbelievable. But her continued ignoring of the bullying and dangerous harassment of the other crew members is frustrating. Then her lack of confrontation in her personal relationships followed by some misplaced outrage and misplaced forgiveness is just totally dysfunctional.

The mysteries end abruptly and some of the details in the aftermath are not fully fledged. Without giving spoilers: In this book the lives of the four bad men is glossed over and Stewie's rescue is past over by Fin once again. Then the bullet wounds seem nonexistent or miraculously healed to get in a last diving scene.

Although I did not enjoy this book as much as usual, because I did not like Fin’s assignment.
The story kept my interest until the end, when I was glad that Fin returned to RIO and Rafe! As always, the descriptive dive scenes make the book so authentic and so worth reading. Hopefully, Fin’s next challenge will involve her photography, Rafe, and her work at RIO.

I really enjoy this series. But please edit the books better. I feel like there was a deadline to meet and everything was so rushed there are so many blatant errors, including a random website linked inserted that was used for research. That being said, I still look forward to reading the next one.

The Fin Fleming series is an enjoyable and interesting series to read. Sea Monsters was the most exciting and suspenseful of the series.

Never disappointed. This book was packed with tension while Fin goes undercover! Makes your heart hurt to think about the environment she has to endure. Great book.
