About the book:
Most people assume I’m reckless and have an adrenaline addict’s death wish. That’s not exactly how I see it.
Eighteen-year-old Ruby has grown up in her twin brothers’ shadow. The whole treasure diving community applauds her brothers and abuelo for finding a famous sunken Spanish galleon. Ruby and her best friend and diving buddy Tanner spent hours searching for another galleon with a massive treasure, Dos Hermanos.
Until Tanner died.
Ruby hasn’t searched for Dos Hermanos since Tanner’s tragic death, but when the family’s nemesis Marco tries to convince Ruby to tell him what she knows about where Dos Hermanos might lie, the race is on. Ruby’s competition has too much gall and not enough conscience, but she is ready to fight for the treasure.
When Marco abducts her brothers and abuelo, Ruby is determined to search on her own and beat Marco at his own game.
But the real question is, will Ruby find the sunken treasure or lose her soul?

My review:
I enjoyed this action-packed story about a pretty strong-willed girl who was sometimes frustrating but very brave. I couldn't believe how stubborn she could be sometimes and I was amazed at some of her choices; she definitely kept you on your toes! She obviously cared deeply about her family but there was some hurt from feeling abandoned after her boyfriend, Tanner, died. She also put her dream on hold to find a certain shipwreck and had a hard time letting go of that. She learned to depend on God more throughout the story and pray and knew she needed to do that in good times, too, not just in hard times. The story dealt with grief, danger, priorities and purpose and made you think but was also entertaining because you didn't know what Ruby was going to do next. Sometimes she could be very smart but was also impulsive so it was a wild ride! I would recommend this if you like action or young adult stories!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. I was not compensated for my review. All opinions are my own.
