Made For TV

Tracy Franks has never felt the need to find adventure. Aveline, her friend since childhood, lives for adventure. When Aveline convinces Tracy to go on one such adventure with her and her friends, Tracy is thrown into a nightmare she can't wake up from.

Deep Down by Meg Hendry tells the story of four people who decide to explore an abandoned mine. Not much action or dialogue, just telling. There really isn't much in the way of suspense either, being somewhat predictable.

I strongly recommend Hendry hire an editor to help transform the story into the adventure promised in the description. As is, the tale might make a good SyFy movie, but doesn't work well in printed form.

As always,
