I was really excited to pick up Lying in the Deep but unfortunately I think I was just a bit too old to care about this particular YA mystery. I felt like the characters were way too juvenile and the drama they talked about was completely uninteresting to me. I don't necessarily feel like this is a problem of the authors doing, however. YA books can be a bit hit or miss for me due to the maturity levels of the stories' characters. The premise and overall setting is why I was interested in this particular book to begin with and I do think those aspects of the book were great. Unfortunately, I just think some of the execution was lacking as I felt the story was a bit predictable and the characters (in my opinion) were a little bit unlikeable. Overall, I feel like this book suits the younger side of YA readers looking for an enjoyable thriller/mystery book.
