Now that's a book!
Deeper is one of those rare books that just grabs your attention and doesn't let go until you see The End on the last page. I loved this book! It reminds me of Creature From the Black Lagoon mixed in with H.P. Lovecraft and Moore's own thrills, all wrapped together in a neat bundle of excellent storytelling that made this title stand out on the bookshelf. I'll make this easy for you. If you want to read a great book with lots of action, great plots, and adventure, pick this one up. Deeper won't disappoint you; it'll only drag you under.

excellent horror thriller
As the New England seafaring season is almost over, the professor Dr. Martin Ward come to Bowden's Point to hire Captain Joe Bierden to take him and his three associates to Devil's Reef near the town of Golden Cove so they can explore an underwater cave. Although he, his wife Belle and his best friend and first mate Charlie Moncrief want to refuse the offer, the money is too good to say no.

On his biggest yacht Isabella's Dream, Joe, Charlie and a couple of local teens take the customers for their month long exploration. The crew is shocked by the hostility of the townsfolk. As the professor, his athletic assistant Diana and a TV famous parapsychologist along with Jacob and Mary Parsons explore Devil's Reef seeking evidence of a city Innsmouth rumored to be destroyed by the Feds, ghost ships and Deep Ones oceanic humanoids attack the crew and clients.

This is an excellent horror thriller due to a fully developed cast (human and paranormal) who seem genuine so that when the impossible occurs, James A. Moore makes it feels possible. Filled with action and suspense, DEEPER hooks readers into a one sitting tale as fans will wonder who will be left swimming in the ever increasingly darker and sinister aptly titled Golden Cove.

Interesting but "genres blend" is a bit much
A great "vacation read" and I actually began to care about a character or two. To be honest, I actually got a little sad at one point when something "bad" happened to one of these characters. The 1st person perspective was very interesting and kept the book very informal but, at times, very witty. I wish Moore didn't blend the two genres ((((SLIGHT SPOILER)))) of possible etherial elements and possible unknown entities. I tried to be vague there on purpose. The ending was pretty much a rip off of one of the Lord of the Rings endings. That was the biggest let down for me because I was truly interested on how a certain situation was going to be "realistically" resolved. The resolution was just a bit to easy.

All that being said, I enjoyed the easy read and fast paced story line. Moore has a way to go to REALLY distinguish himself (that may be a bit harsh) in this albeit saturated fiction niche but I will probably read more of his books.
