Deep Blue by Kristy McCaffrey is the first book in her new Pathway series. This romantic suspense novel is a departure for the author, who is widely known for her western romance. Her debut in the suspense genre is a success.
Dr. Grace Mann, researcher and computer programmer at the California Marine Institute is the central character. Grace is the star of a documentary about the great white shark, which is being filmed by Alec Galloway. She was initially wary of the filmmaker, but now finds herself drawn to him.
Alec Galloway, underwater photographer and filmmaker, made it his mission to win the job on Grace’s documentary after seeing Grace pictured freediving with a great white shark. He feels that Grace sometimes places herself in unnecessary danger when diving with her beloved white sharks. Alec has developed an attraction to the beautiful scientist and tries his best to protect her from both the sharks and herself.
The level of detail in this novel is stunning. The characterization is also brilliant.
The author has done her research and every aspect of this novel is fully-rendered. It started and ended perfectly. If you love sharks this is a must-read, but Deep Blue has something for everyone: romance, danger, excitement, intrigue, adventure, jealousy, desire, sabotage and betrayal. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
