This is an atmospheric and moody read, which I absolutely love. It would be the prefect read in a thunderstorm. The primary setting, on a half-sunken freighter in the Gulf of Mexico, is unique and amazing.

The action is fast-paced, and it's a pretty quick read. I read this during a busy time in my life, and even if I didn't have much time to read, I was able to knock out big chunks of this book in very little time.

Where the book kind of lost me is with the characters. This book was more focused on the plot than the characters, so I wasn't super invested in the characters to really care about their outcome.
