Annie is a girl after my own heart with her love of archaeology and treasure hunting. Where I like to look at nature from a distance, she will actually get out into the field and get her hands dirty or wet in this case.

When Annie's teacher presents her with the opportunity to go to Mexico to perform some charity work and may be find a little treasure on the side, she jumps at the chance. Once she arrives there, she finds out the true mission of the trip and agrees to go along with it. It's a dream come true and it's more than flattering to have her teacher rely on her expertise. However, this has to be kept quiet from the rest of the group. It's tough keep secrets especially when things become precarious but Annie's pretty smart and finds ways in and out of some harrowing danger.

It was fun to read something contemporary with plenty of action in it and best of all, a good mystery to be solved. I mean who doesn’t love tales of treasure hunting? There was definitely a good balance of humor and high-school romance thrown in as well. And even though the trip starts out with an unlikely group of teens, they do end up working together as a team.

In Too Deep will make a perfect addition to your summer reading!

Summary of in too deep: Annie Fleet is a slightly nerdy high school girl with a history teacher dad and a scuba dive shop owner as a mum that loves diving. She is a lot into shipwrecks and knows all about the stories of sunken treasures. One summer she gets the chance to go on a humanitarian school trip to Mexico with her teacher who is equally into treasure hunting than Annie. While there, they suddenly get the chance to go looking for Cortez’s long-lost treasure…

My thoughts on in too deep: If you like Disney Adventure movies… Those that the Rock often stars in, then this might be the perfect fit for you. If you love the sea and have an interest in diving, this might be the perfect fit for you. If you love treasure hunting, then…you guessed it, this might be the perfect fit for you.

So the thing is, I planned to read this for a summer reading challenge, which did not happen and I instead read it now in November. It is kind of weird to read about an adventure on the beach in the summer when it is cold outside but for some reason, it was also kinda nice. Warmed me up a little bit.

I was annoyed at a few of the main character's decisions but those were minor and overall I really enjoyed reading this e-book. There were also a few twists in it I did not see coming.

Overall in too deep is a fun summer read.

I unfortunately was not able to read this book. I was excited when ever I had chosen to download or pick this book up on Netgalley. However, time moves by so quickly and I never got to read it.

I received a copy through Netgalley for a review. I am always looking for books that I can read and recommend to my nieces and nephews and discuss with them. This was a good book to read and recommend to them while we watched the movie Pirates of the Caribbean! It was an easy read, with a bit of everything, action, romance and treasure hunting.

This romance brought me right into the story and kept me turning the pages right up until the end.
