Review – Submerged

Bailey Craig has a reputation in Yancey, Alaska, and she vowed to never set a foot there again. She’s changed—and Yancey is a town that doesn’t forget. But when her aunt dies in a plane accident she returns long enough for the funeral and to put her aunt’s affairs in order. But then dark evidence emerges and Bailey’s expertise becomes invaluable for the case.

Cole McKenna faces dangerous rescue dives all the time. He understands that a murderer is threatening their town—but facing Bailey again is the hardest thing he’d ever done. She broke his heart when she left town. But she’s not the same girl—and he’s not the same guy.

As Cole and Bailey work together, the body count rises. Will they find the killer before it’s too late?

SUBMERGED is the first novel I’ve read by Dani Pettrey and it is amazing. Dani is a very talented author and she knows how to weave together a suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Set in Alaska, it features deep sea divers. There is a lot of information about the state, the area, and about deep sea diving. I could almost feel the iciness of the water, feel the spiraling airplane as it crashes into the ocean, the fear as the plane shifts when the rescue workers attempt to save the victims. The characters are so real that I felt they could be flesh and blood. They are flawed and hurting, but striving to live for Christ as best they can.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these characters as they struggle to get away from their past to find a future. An absolutely amazing story.
