I think I might have liked this book better not as an audiobook. It was long, and very tense, and relentless. The adversary is such an over the top creepy psychopath that she felt unbelievable. 
Excellent descriptions of scuba diving. <Spoiler>there is an absolutely terrifying underwater rescue scene during which I chewed off a fingernail. If confined spaces underwater, diving accidents, or psychopaths make you nervous, maybe try another one of her books. <Spoiler>

Normally I try to give books more of a chance before deciding to move on, but I could not get over the narrator’s description of her body

Amy showed more patience with Roux than I could have 😒 Plot twists were revealed throughout the book instead of one giant reveal at the end. I liked this deviation and was surprised at some of the twists myself. It was slow to start and only picked up a past the halfway point in the book. Still a solid read overall!
