The Deep by Nick Cutter

4.0

The Deep was wild. I really had no idea how to rate it or review it because I’m not entirely sure how Nick Cutter wrote 400 pages of this. I’m not mad about it but I just don’t really get it. This is for me, the scariest read of the year. There was some really good tension that never let up. A STRESSFUL read that really upset me at several times, though I do understand why this is such a polarizing story. If the deep ocean doesn’t scare you then there’s really no reason this should be scary. I did love the plot twist right at the end, revealing that the underwater creatures had been with Luke his whole life. It really elevated the terror! Overall a really good read that didn’t do enough to be a full 5 stars.
