This book absolutely ruined me. I feel like I need to take out my brain and give it a scrub in a bleach bath. I absolutely loved it beginning to end. At no point did I have any idea where the plot was going but Nick Cutter never disappoints.

I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this. I really like the concept (we need more under water horror books!) but I don’t think it was executed very well. Perhaps I’m simply a hater to my core, but it was a let down at the reveal.

The moderate ones I added (while being utterly horrific, I do not take them lightly) don’t go into details very much and you can definitely get past them fast. Stay safe and protect your heart though. 🫶🏻

I could not put this book down. It was unnerving and claustrophobic. I was a bit lost at some parts, but it just added to the ambiance of confusion and disorientation the MC was experiencing.
