Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant
3.75

This was a refreshing read in a few different ways. I had just finished reading a book that advertised itself as "queer horror" and did not hit the mark on either aspect. Into the Drowning Deep hit "horror" 100% for me, and "queer" about 75%. The relationship between
Olivia and Tori
is not the story's focus, but it didn't feel forced and I appreciated that. I love the ensemble cast of characters and how they each play a role in the story.

This book creeped me out. I'm not a huge horror aficionado, so I'm sure others might think this book was weak-sauce. However, there were so many times I was reading and I had to "put the book in the freezer." Sometimes the gore bordered on too much for me, but you get what you pay for. 

I am a science person myself, and the science of this book felt real. I could totally see something like this happening, which made it freakerOverall, I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for horror set at sea.
