My Review: This one could have been amazing.  But the flow of the story just fell short of that. The start was well done, the middle was kind of meh, and the ending was so rushed that it just didn't work at all.  I wished that this one would have worked harder to flow better.  As I think this could be up there with Divergent, The Maze Runner, and The Hunger Games.  I hope that it gets its due in the future.  Because this could be one really good story. Also I would also say that it needs raised to higher ya.  Or completely switched to middle grade. 











"Deep could be the next Maze Runner type franchise if it got picked up by a studio. It's an excellent example of YA Dystopian Science Fiction. The characters are well-written and crisp, believable, and consistent." - Amazon reviewer

"
Wow! Where do I start? Deep drew me into its depths from the first page or more like the summary. Imagine living underwater in domes? Well, that is where everyone in Deep lives after the world ended." - Goodreads reviewer
