Bury Me Deep
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Club—soon to be an original Netflix series!
Jean is on her way to Hawaii for a week of fun in the sun. But the vacation gets off to a gruesome start. The boy sitting next to her on the plane suddenly chokes and dies. Jean tries to push the incident out of her mind when she arrives on the island, but it’s impossible. Part of the reason is because Mike keeps coming back to her in her dreams. Horrible dreams filled with cold blood.
Two of Jean’s friends are waiting for her in Hawaii—Mandy and Michele. They have already made friends with two young men who teach scuba diving at the hotel—Dave and Johnny. Jean and Johnny quickly become friends. But there are problems in paradise. Dave and Johnny have recently lost a partner in the ocean. No one knows how he died. No one can find his body. But then Jean finds Mike’s body. It isn't where it's supposed to be, and it seems as if it's still got some life in it.

Christopher Pike was my favorite author when I was a tween, and I loved this book in particular. Despite loving the ocean for as long as I can remember, I didn't actually see or swim in saltwater until I was 22. Pike's descriptions of the ocean and scuba diving fed my love for reading and for the ocean when I was a kid, and rereading in my 40s had the same effect.
Is this really a 5* read for an adult? No, but it's not written for adults. Tween me absolutely gave it 5*, and she was right. Since first reading Bury Me Deep, I've completed a master's in English, taught English for several years, and become a certified AOW scuba diver, continuing to log as many dives as I can. While I can't credit all of that back to this book, I can say it had a big impact.
Sidenote: I remember impressing my first scuba instructor when he asked if anyone knew what "scuba" stood for: "Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus" (Bury Me Deep, chapter 4). Now I remember where I learned that!
