DNF at 20%.

At this point in the book, I feel I should have connected with at least one of the characters and have a stake in what happens to them. I do not. I guess I am just not the target audience for this novel.

Unlike many other readers, I found this story difficult to enjoy. From the start, I thought I was dropped into the middle of something important. I felt I was missing key pertinent points that would help me understand why things were happening the way they did. It was disconcerting and it took me a while before I settled in.

On one hand, the storyline scored points with a child prodigy-now-adult saved by a group of well-meaning soldiers, but overall I was left unsatisfied. The special young woman was suppose to be guarded and kept safe and yet was encouraged to sing in a bar-like setting...with rollerblades. I also had a hard time relating to men with the names of Whisper, Nerd, Virus and Spirit.

Silent Depths included some action, romance, villains and a nasty business about breeding. I wanted to enjoy this story, but as another reviewer wrote, there is a good tale buried in here, I just had a difficult time finding it.

This was an arc and I would like to thank Net Galley, Reily Garrett and Garrett Publishing for a copy of this story in exchange for an honest review.

Suspenseful and thrilling, Silent Depths kept me guessing until the very end.

The story is about Callie and how her mind holds the key! Then there is Nate who only wants to live a quiet life. However, that does not happen when he meets Callie and is determined to protect her at all costs.

It's a great story and one I highly recommend.
