The Deep by Nick Cutter
4.0
adventurous mysterious tense

Solid horror book. A lot of good / genuinely scary moments that were spaced out between backstory, build up, and flashbacks. The ending was satisfactory, though a lot of the finer details seemed to be brushed by. We didn’t get a lot of answers about the ambrosia itself and how it relates to ancient alien things besides it being bait. The whole setup of the “gets” was a good hook, but was entirely too convenient to line up with the ambrosia. The ending was good, but left a lot of stuff unanswered too. That seems like a lot of complaints but overall a good read, just a bit more open-ended than what I would have liked.
