The disability rep in this is great! Deaf/hard of hearing rep, ASL rep, and wheelchair rep. I hope the full novel continues this. I loved the way the ship actually required it’s crew to learn ASL in their contract. I would love to read more about David and Jovanni’s adventures. I just wish there was more, but this is a novella so that’s expected.

As someone who lives on the seaside and who has always had a deep connection with the sea, I expected this book to have far more tension than it had. I wanted to be terrified and I just wasn’t.
That doesn’t mean this isn’t a bad book, just a little disappointing for me.

Delightful is the wrong word, but it's what I'm going to use. This was a delightfully creepy, disturbing prequel novella to Drowning in the Deep, and I'm so freaking happy I finally read it! I loved learning what happened to the Atargatis first hand, even though, the readers knew the outcome from the book. It's (again I'm going to use the wrong word) nice to have seen what these folks all went through. Horrifying, but it gave me a glimpse at what all happened. And since it's been years since I read Drowning in the Deep, it was "fun" to dive back into this world and story.
