It Came From The Deep by Maria Lewis

5.0

I loved this book! It was fun and quirky with a bit of mystery and romance thrown in. It is set in the world of Surf Clubs on the Gold Coast. I loved the combination of sci fi and everyday Australia. The flow between chapters and the scences within was done well and i didn't feel like I was missing anything or not know what was happening. There is LGBTQI, Mental Health and different culture representation which I felt Maria wrote about well.

Maria has done a superb job creating and developing the characters. Kaia is the MC whose POV the story is told from, we follow her as she struggles to work through the accident that happened and the discovery of something that she thought was only a myth. We have Storm who is her hothead brother that just wants to protect his sister. Cabby is Kaia's friend that is trying to support her. Travis is who Kaia enlists to help her figure out the things she doesnt understand. Then we have Amos, who is the unexpected friend Kaia finds and is helping to return home. But there are those that don't want that to happen, resulting in Kaia and her friends being a bit out of their depth.
