This part horror, part science fiction is a masterpiece. It takes you on a damned journey to find the truth about about a ship and the creatures that attacked it. But it also takes you on a journey to know more about people, about humans, our environment, and both the known and unknown history and mysteries of our world.
This was just so so good. Atmospheric, poetic, dark, gritty. Also I loved the diversity in the cast.
Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire is a blessing in literature 🤧

This was a solid read - definitely some events that didn't make a whole lot of sense, like people risking careers to do stupid things and go against orders, but aside from that it was pretty solid. The mermaids/sirens were creepy and well-described and I was on the edge of my seat for most of the book, which really made an impact for me. I was surprised by how old this book was - honestly some of the things the author predicted for 2022 were pretty bang on!
If you're not a huge sci-fi/fantasy person, this is a great read. It's not too deep or full of lore, but it has enough to draw you in and keep you engaged.
