Adalaide Blue’s debut novel, Beauty in Deep Waters, is women’s Christian fiction. A hauntingly beautiful story of healing, new beginnings, friendship, and a second chance at a love of a lifetime. You’ll fall in love with Tess and the Soul Sisters—the quirky group of Jesus-loving ladies who take Tess under their wing as she begins her new life in the seemingly perfect beach town of Pebble Cove. But nothing’s ever perfect. A missing girl, a sinister figure stalking her from the shadows, and a new friend with all the red flags of an abusive relationship thrust Tess into a whirlwind of unknowns. Amidst the turmoil, the infuriatingly amazing and impossible to ignore, John Taylor edges his way into her unwilling heart.
It’s the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud, brings you to tears, and you find yourself holding your breath as you read faster to turn the page.
