I read the other book into the drowning deep first! Both are amazing. I love a book that says, what if this were real, what would it actually be like? How would people actually react? I find this book to be so accurate with how a mermaid would be a smart predator with all these adaptations and humans really would have that array of reactions. It’s so captivating. Id read more books by this author with this same topic for sure

This was honestly terrifying. I loved the that this was just as scary as Into The Drowning Deep, but this made it all the more terrifying. Mostly because these characters didn’t know what to expect, they went in planning to make a faux documentary about mermaids not to actually find them and have their faces eaten off. This is one of those things that will stick with you and make you not want to ever set foot on a cruise ship. Rolling In The Deep is getting a solid five stars.

This was pretty similar to Into the Drowning Deep, just much shorter. I know it says this one is #0.5 in the series but I would recommend reading it second or just skipping it.
