The pace is just right as it slowly builds towards the inevitable climax - with enough twists and turns to keep you interested. A thoroughly enjoyable, unsettling read

4.25

absolutely loved the mermaids and the concept behind them, super unique. i really enjoyed the alternating pov, as well. and the dolphin chapter. the book was really slow at the beginning, but if you can make it to when they’re actually on the boat, it picks up. 

a bit disappointing the mermaids didn’t use their mimicry to trick humans to open doors or come around corners or something similar.

also, the implosion of heather’s submersible would not have left any remains behind, and she would not have lived long enough to see water make it into the submersible at that depth.

overall a really good book and clearly written with another one in mind!
