Welcome one and all to Journey with Books. Kayla here with a review of the book Deep Blue Secret by Christie Anderson, Book 1 in the Water Keepers series.
Title: Deep Blue Secret
Author: Christie Anderson
Release Date: July 29, 2011; 2nd edition (April 14, 2012)
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform
Genre: Paranormal Fantasy Romance
Sadie is a girl who has a wonderful life. Boys love her, she has a best friend who would do anything for her, and her and her mother are immensely close. So if this is indeed the case, why isn't she happier? Sadie has been having bouts of depression and sadness. At first, they occurred quite a ways apart, but lately they have been getting closer and closer together with less and less time of true happiness in between. What could possibly be wrong with her? An encounter with a strange boy with sparkling green eyes could be the answer.
Rayne was assigned to keep Sadie safe. And he does just that when he saves her from drowning. She is only a job for him. Like any other assignment, he must keep a professional attitude towards her. But that becomes hard when they seem to forge a bond together. A bond that, in Rayne's eyes, is just the effect of his saving her. It is nothing to worry about, so long as he keeps his distance, which becomes harder and harder to do.
When a criminal of Rayne's world finds out about Sadie and threatens her life, Rayne will do anything to protect her. And in the process, he might just find how deep this bond really goes.
Christie Anderson has gone from a BA degree in Latin American studies at Brigham Young University, to pizza delivery driver, flight attendant, and office manager, to finally finding her true passion in writing. She enjoys movies, books, music, and being outside in the sunshine whenever possible. She misses the ocean like crazy, but is terrified of waves. She loves animals, and she's dabbled in photography, drawing, and golf (although that doesn't mean she's any good at it). She's still trying to convince herself she likes to cook.
Christie grew up in Southern California and recently moved to Colorado with her husband, where she spends hours upon end staring at a computer screen while dreaming about new characters, plot twists, and other worlds.

Book Blurb:
California teen Sadie James thinks her life couldn't get any better. She has great friends, an energetic mother she adores, and the beach practically in her own backyard. But her carefree life is turned upside down when she's rescued by a mysterious and strangely familiar boy who won't even tell her his name. Each time the boy appears, Sadie's unexplainable attraction to him deepens along with her need to unravel his secrets. The boy is there to protect her, but as wonderful and exciting as it might be to have an irresistible boy with crystal green eyes protecting her every move, every minute of the day...why does Sadie need one? As Sadie finds answers, she realizes her life isn't as perfect as she thought. Not only is she caught in a world of dangerous secret agents she never knew existed, but it turns out her true identity may be the greatest secret of all.Kayla's Thoughts:
Sadie is a girl who has a wonderful life. Boys love her, she has a best friend who would do anything for her, and her and her mother are immensely close.

Verdict:
I absolutely loved this book. The descriptions of Rayne's eyes (which are very important to the story, by the way) and even Sadie's (again, important) are so vivid and beautiful. The characters are very realistic. The places and situations are described to the point where I feel like I am actually there. This author did an amazing job writing this, and I cannot wait to check out the other installments of this series.
