I enjoyed this follow-up to Submerged. This novel continues to follow the McKenna family. The mystery part of the novel was great. It kept my attention as the McKenna siblings, with a bit of help, investigate the murder of a professional skiier in order to exonerate their brother who was found at the scene of the crime. The romance centered around the youngest sibling, Piper, and Landon, the Deputy who was taken in by the McKennas when his family fell apart. Now, this part for me was readable, and I enjoyed the characters; however, I felt that the romance felt a little high school and silly. The two characters are madly in love but neither sees that the other feels the same, and when they do finally show it, they later retract it and cause confusion. And though Piper is an adult, her older brother Cole is angry when he encounters Landon and Piper kissing. It all seems a bit silly and juvenile. Overall though, I would recommend the book and I do very much enjoy reading them. They are pretty quick reads, entertaining, though also thought provoking as the characters discuss and live their faith. I look forward to more in this series as, in the last book as well, there were some pretty big hints towards future relationships! Excellent read for romance and mystery readers!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
