After a few months of everyone on Tik Tok recommending this book, I decided to check it out. A horror story about Mermaids? Sign me up. This book was fun. It was challenging for me at times to listen to descriptions of the deep sea, as I have an intense fear of that place...but...yeah, it's "delightfully" atmospheric. These are not your Disney-variety sirens and there is a reason they exist in mythology all over the world as predators. The ending felt a little rushed but all in all I was enthralled much of the time. I also feel reaffirmed in staying off cruise ships!
