I have not read all the Psychic Visions, I have them all and have enjoyed the ones I read. This one with Jamie, Samsons younger brother was a tad difficult for me, and it shouldn’t be, look at all Stefan can do. Maybe because of Jamies petulance. Rock on Whimsy, even with all you have been through you grabbed the bull by the horns and dealt. There is mystery that is dealt out in micro steps. I wanted to yell, come on – share some more. There is suspense and romance. Putting aside the paranormal, stop and think, what is happening to our oceans, all the drilling and testing going on. That’s just the ones we know about. Thank you for the arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own and were unsolicited.
Extremely satisfying and surprisingly exciting story. Lots of scary scenes causing you to read faster to see what will happen next. I loved the paranormal aspect simmering just below the surface and occasionally popping out and making you blink. Hehehe. Loved it.
This author never fails to hand us an enjoyable book with surprising plots and interesting characters. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Unexpected help from Deep Beneath…Whimsy’s celebration out on Puget Sound didn’t go as she planned. Whimsy was saved from dying from drowning by something deep beneath the waters. Whimsy was rescued by Samson, a rich marine biologist and businessman who studied the migration patterns and lived on an island. Something was happening that was affecting the weather and the waters around the island. I received a free copy of this book from the author through Booksprout. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. This series is my favorite from Dale Mayer. This book like the other in the series contains mystery, a little romance, suspense, and psychic abilities. I love that the Whimsy had a strong affinity and tie for the mammals in the ocean. This is an excellent read.
Whimsy’s world is literally turned upside down when she goes for a relaxing kayak ride on completing her PhD.
What has happened to her, how can she explain how she feels and hears? Why is she in danger? How does Samson and Jamie fit in? So many questions!
What a fascinating and intriguing story which had me spell bound and hooked from start to finish!
It is extremely well written and entertaining and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was kindly provided this book as an ARC; in exchange for my honest review. This is book 15 of 16 in the Psychic Visions series.
With this series it’s not critical to read previous books in the series (although I cannot understand why a reader wouldn’t want to; as each book is wonderful.) Hands down the best series written by Ms. Dale. I always look forward to each new Psychic Visions release, just to see what Ms. Dale came up with. (The previous book I thought would be creepy, (spiders) but it truly wasn’t)
I’ll admit it took me longer than usual to find my groove with this book. I’m unsure of an absolute reason other than the book felt “scattered” for the first 8-10 chapters. I did enjoy the storyline (would have loved more interaction between Whimsy and the wonderful sea creatures; I think it would have added quite a bit more interest and tied things together better.)
The story evolved well and was as expected with this series, terrific.

Deep Beneath is a fantastic story of love, betrayal, second chances and new friends, this is a book for everyone. I love the action and the constant edge of your seat suspens. Samson and Whimsy are perfectly matched. A definite one click book for all Dale Mayer fans.
Fabulous imagery of the scenes, especially the under water ones, described so well I could almost picture them. Interesting topic matter that I found suspenseful and gripping, often quite intense. The characters mostly likable and easy to love, a few were definitely bad guys and some I was suspicious of quite quickly. Intriguing plot full of excitement and action and some twists and turns along the way.. my only complaint was I would have loved just another chapter with everything settled and maybe Wimsey back kayaking back on the water..
This book is filled with excitement, mystery, intensity, suspense and action. Whimsy and Samson are interesting and complex characters. With a story line that will keep you on edge and eagerly reading page after page with its many twists.I thought that this was a very entertaining book.
Whimsy has always worked hard to get/acheive what she had, wants to celebrate her years of study and self imposed limits to get her PhD. Samson like Whimsy has family that needs extra help, leaving Samson a very busy, lonely life till a big storm changes everything. Finding more in common with each other, from family, their chosen work lives and pasts take you on an interesting journey with several different pathways giving you a well pace read leaving you wanting more.
Whimsy is thrilled to finally have her Ph.D. in marine biology behind her, and she’s celebrating with her sorely neglected boyfriend and a couple other friends by spending the day kayaking. What starts out as a beautiful, relaxing day soon turns ugly when a sudden, violent storm separates her from her friends, her kayak and her life vest and washes her up on the shore of an unpopulated island. As Samson and his dogs find Whimsy and nurse her back to health, Whimsy realizes she’s stumbled on to something much bigger than herself and far outside her realm of experience that defies logical explanation. There’s the matter of someone shooting at Whimsy, the strangers lurking around the island, and Samson’s brother, Jamie, who prefers to spend more time in the ethereal world than the physical one and insists Whimsy is a pivotal part of whatever is happening on the island.
If there’s one thing this author does well, it’s mystery and suspense. I don’t read much paranormal these days, but this book grabbed me from the first page and I couldn’t read fast enough to find out what was going to happen to these characters. There were twists and turns I never saw coming and, as much as I tried, I had no idea who was behind everything until all was revealed. Settle in and hold on tight. This is one breathtaking, exhilarating ride you absolutely don’t want to miss!

I have followed Dale Mayer for several years (and own 50+ books by this wonderful author). Only now have I delved into the Psychic Vision series. Wow! I opened the book and had a difficult time putting it down. The key character is Dr. Whimsy Connor, a newly minted marine biologist PhD. She has a keen analytical mind yet events demand that she suspend science to open up to elements deep within the Sound which call to her. This is a complex story, a page turner, with many twists. I know that I need to dig into earlier books for this series because I clearly missed some wonderful books.

Wow, just wow!
Psychic Visions books are like giant chocolate bars to me. I know I should portion out the treat to make it last longer, but once I take that first bite, I am driven to devour the whole thing because it’s just too good to stop until I’m all finished. Plus, it’s always great to reconnect with Stefan (Book 7, Eyes to the Soul) and Dr. Maddy (Book 3, Maddy’s Floor), while we get acquainted with Dr. Whimsy and Samson.
Deep Beneath resonates with anyone who has had a close relationship with a family member who is mentally ill, who has experience with or fear of drowning, who has been rescued from a deadly situation, and/or who escapes the busy work world by going to the equivalent of a private island in the middle of nowhere. Did I leave anyone out? Oh, yes, and anyone who is interested in marine biology and the environmental impact of greedy humans who put money and notoriety ahead of the health of our oceans and the creatures who live there. Wow, huh? Read this book. It’s amazing, frightening, and very enlightening.
