I am a former emergency medical technician, so when I heard an ad for the creation of the modern ambulance service and paramedics, I had to listen to it. I found the topic fascinating and enjoyed the way the material was written. The content was presented with dialogue and suspense that brought the story to life. I scanned the list of episode topics and will definitely be listening to more of them soon.
It was a well written book series, I did enjoy reading it as there is adventure, love interest, suspense and cliff hangers throughout however it is not on my favourite shelf as it didn’t hook me in as other books that I have read. I crave the books that I cannot put down and end up reading until 3am. Sadly, this was not one of those but don’t get me wrong, it was still enjoyable to read.

I wasn't as big a fan of Duff's POV, mostly because it sounded too similar to Lily's voice. I know it must be difficult to encorporate an entirely different personality into a character within the same world, but his thoughts were too in sync with Lily's. This book was more action than suspense, so it wasn't as interesting to me. However, I'm still deeply invested and will read the next book to find out how everything unravels.

This is really well done with a great amount of suspense and mystery. The cast is great, but the actor playing Assane steals the show. His presence and delivery in each scene is fantastic. It's only two seasons, but it's great. I just wish it had wrapped things up a little better because it's kind of on a cliffhanger. Maybe we'll get another season, but who knows? Either way, it's a show I'm glad I checked out.

The main character Kyra, confused after diving incident and trying to figure out what happened. The whole story was told from only Kyra’s perspective and other characters didn't have their voice in it. That's unfortunate, because it would've been interesting to hear Jacob's thoughts about the whole situation, which was going on in the book and what was his relationship with the friend from his childhood. Maybe a throwback to the past? All this would’ve given the whole book more twists and suspense, I believe. The characters were not very interesting to be honest; they were not very strong and did not have very charismatic personalities. I noticed that, if a male character looks perfect in the pages, there is something not quite right with him, in this case the same, Jacob was too perfect. Even though Aiden (a mystery man) should’ve been one of the important characters in the whole story, his actions were nonexistent, even at the end he was the most passive one. <br/><br/> I really enjoyed that in every chapter there used to be at least one memory coming back. The suspense was really well thought through, giving those recovered memories like little sips of water in the desert. Unfortunately, the whole plot in this novel is not very original. I saw couple of films with the same principal, but the suspense kept me interested and it was hard to put it away. There is very visible touch of author's life in the book, as she lives by the ocean. There are lots of terms of marine biology in this publication, which got me looking up some terms because I never faced them in my normal life. All the suspense throughout the book was nicely rewarded at the end of it, I really enjoyed it and I loved the fact, that it still left you hanging with some unanswered questions. It had a lot of turns and twists which didn't leave u bored and kept the book interesting. To conclude, I would recommend this book if You would like some twisty and suspenseful novel filled with island life and marine biology.
