This book wasn't for me and that's okay. I highly recommend checking out the content warnings before embarking on this book as it has the potential to be triggers ahoy.

Terrifying, suspenseful and full of surprises. I loved this because it not only had everything it promised, but it also gave me more! I was expecting a salvage crew and a scary mission, but this went way beyond expectations. Highly recommend if you have a hard time always knowing endings, and anticipating the next plot line.
