If you enjoy a slow burn with amazing, atmospheric tension, this is the book for you. Some elements in this novel are absolutely horrific, but many of the most disturbing moments are left to the imagination. I would’ve rated this 5 stars if not for the last 40 pages. I wish that those events had happened earlier in combination with one of the other dives, but ultimately I can’t deny that this book had me intrigued and shaking with anticipation.
