The Drowning by Camilla Läckberg
5.0
I don't know why the 4 stars are more than the 5 ones, because this book had me crying and screaming and sobbing and fangirling all at the same time, at 5 am. Everyday.
First I was hesitant about reading it, but then I was like THE HECK IS HAPPENING? And I HAD to find out because everything seemed so confusing and strange.
I fell in love with Christian and Patrick and all these amazing characters. One minute everything is peaceful and calm, and the next it's a bloodbath.
It's the first time I cried this hard on a book! It's so sad and depressing and you're always on edge, always afraid something else would suddenly happen.
This is one of these few books that are so capturing and you have literally no expectations whatsoever and you don't have the slightest clue of what may happen. Was I the dumb one or was the plot twist REALLY unexpected? It blew my mind!! I only had doubts 1 page away from the plot twist.
Camilla Lackberg is officially one of my favorite authors. Looking forward to read more of her books!
Spoilers ahead!
UPDATE (2 days later)** NO IDK WHY I CAME BACK TO THIS REVIEW, I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T SAID EVERYTHING IN MY HEART.
- I felt like when christian died it was the end of the story and I didn't wanted to read past that because I fell in love with him!!
- WHAT IS THIS ENDING!!! I MEAN HEART ATTACK AND ACCIDENTS AND WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY IS THERE ALWAYS TROUBLE??
- I've never sobbed so much in my life. CAUSE OF DEATH: CAMILLA LACKBERG.
- I was always like "It's Alice. It's not Alice. It's Alice. OMG HOW COULD IT BE FREAKING ALICE? WHO'S THAT FREAKING MERMAID?
- The book title should have been "The Mermaid."
- I feel like the rape that happened is bad, but it's not that bad that they should all repay by being killed. They were young and drunk and didn't understand, especially Magnus who was totally out and who was forced to do it because of Eric. Magnus didn't deserve death.
- And i found it so dumb that Christian wasn't under surveillance before his death. HOW COULD YOU KILL HIM OMG
- I feel so bad for Cia, Sanna and especially Maria and her child that the mermaid killed. The mermaid is so creepy.

One of the reasons why I love it is because I'm in love with books that involve mental illnesses, so in love that I actually started writing about them in my soon to be published series. And Christian's case is a very mysterious one, very interesting. His past is so sad.UPDATE (2 days later)** NO IDK WHY I CAME BACK TO THIS REVIEW, I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T SAID EVERYTHING IN MY HEART.
