slow-paced

1.0

Hard to believe this was written by the same author as The Troop. This was so boring. No sense of dread. The killer dementia plague just vanished when that was probably more of a terrifying concept than being underwater and hearing things. Did I mention they’re underwater? Because they’re underwater. It also really wasn't shy with its references - literally quoting them sometimes. The ending may as well have been that it was all a dream, would've made more sense.

This book absolutely ruined me. I feel like I need to take out my brain and give it a scrub in a bleach bath. I absolutely loved it beginning to end. At no point did I have any idea where the plot was going but Nick Cutter never disappoints.

I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this. I really like the concept (we need more under water horror books!) but I don’t think it was executed very well. Perhaps I’m simply a hater to my core, but it was a let down at the reveal.

The moderate ones I added (while being utterly horrific, I do not take them lightly) don’t go into details very much and you can definitely get past them fast. Stay safe and protect your heart though. 🫶🏻
