5.0

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.

2.0

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. 🫶🏻

esharemet's review against another edition

The description of gore and body horror got to be too much for me, especially in audiobook format.

As soon as they introduced the dog, I remembered the book's author and immediately looked up whether the dog died. It does die, and dogs being harmed/killed is just something I can't go past. I know myself too well
