Troubled Waters

Oh, my, the drama! Honestly, if this had been the first book of the series, I might have not minded...but I read these books for the survival tales, the rescues—not the recurring emotional angst. Emotional angst gets me tired, so it really did damper my enjoyment of an otherwise well-written book.

I think my main issue with this series is that years are passing and no one is maturing much. People get together and break up and date other people and long for the one true love and get back with the one true love and argue and break up....it's starting to feel like high school all over again. So while the book is interesting and good, I am just so ready for this team to learn how to talk to each other and communicate like grown-ups.

The action starts at about the halfway point and I grew much more invested in the story. The rescue depended heavily on some improbable happenings, though, so it didn't ultimately end in raising my rating.
