My Review:
I was so excited that Sarah had a new series coming out, I have enjoyed her previous series and reading about the World War II era.  "Through Waters Deep" is such a great start to this new series and now I cannot wait for book #2 to be released!  Mary and Jim are both wonderful main characters as they became so real and they were easy to connect and empathize with.  They are both struggling with some things in their lives and they are forced to work together to discover what is really going on and whom is behind it.  I love the suspense that is tied in with this story and the romance that is throughout.  I also enjoyed the minor characters and I love how Sarah introduces them in the first book and then continues on their stories in later books in the series.  This is a well-written book that was easy to get lost in as I did not want to set it down once I started.  The time period is brought to life and the characters are so well-developed; this is a perfect summer read!
