ABOUT THE BOOK: Between the devil and the deep blue sea...is the last place you want to be.

Boone Fischer and Emily Durand have been through a lot in the past few years. A new beginning on the island of Cozumel is going swimmingly: their own dive boat, their own business, a new canine friend, and a room with a view. But a chance encounter with a staggeringly wealthy family and their luxury cruise line will bring pandemonium to this peaceful paradise.

In this fourth book of the best-selling Deep Series, Boone and Emily find themselves immersed in a world of wealth and privilege, where jealousy, greed, and deceit can lead down a dark path.

From drift dives in whipping currents to the claustrophobic confines of the infamous Devil's Throat; from the crashing waves on the "wild side" of Cozumel to a massive mega-yacht on the high seas, Deep Devil will take you to fascinating places. Some beautiful...some deadly.

HALL WAYS REVIEW: AUDIO BOOK REVIEW. I think that with every book in this series, I keep saying that it's the best one yet. But this one really is the best one yet! (You can check out my other reviews: Book 1, Deep Shadow; Book 2, Deep Cut; and Book 3, Deep Roots)

The tropical Caribbean destinations of each of these books make the stories even more engaging. Sullivan's descriptions take readers on a journey that includes sparkling ocean waters, underwater wonderlands, and of course, drinks and eats at a grass hut beach bar -- great for armchair travel. DEEP DEVIL takes us to Cozumel and Isla Mujeres, more familiar than the places in the first three books, but still exotic and exciting -- and full of intrigue and mystery.

The plot is great with divemasters Emily and Boone pulled into the world of the uber-rich, uber-messed-up people who dwell there. Twists, turns, and edge-of-your-seat action keep readers enthralled especially as the story ramps up to the big reveal.

Author Nick Sullivan's narration of the story is excellent. He's comfortable with his main characters and voices them perfectly. Particularly, I give him a tip of the hat for bringing Emily to life, in all her hilarious and sassy glory. He's been tweaking this character from the start and she's just right now.

With characters to loathe and love (including our favorite potlicker pup), an unforgettable setting, and a well-crafted story, DEEP DIVE is among my favorite books of the year. And I am thrilled that there are still two more books in the series that I can -- wait for it -- dive into right away.
