A dark thrilling tale of mysterious spooky creatures lurking at the sea that takes place in the 1913s. It is a story that involves the survival of the people on the island against mysterious forces. This concept of mythology is beautifully captured with the aspect of the story involving superstitions.
I was intrigued, enthralled, and entertained throughout the story. I liked this story's historical feel and truly enjoyed the concept of fear of the deep sea because I would be if it were dark and murky with mythological creatures in the ocean. I loved the family dynamics of Bridey which is full of fun, humor, and care. They were interesting characters in their relationship with one another. The visions of her mother are so interesting, I would've loved to learn more, but the realistic aspect of the unknown of those visions is on point since its setting is historical so I understand. The romance between Fynn and Bridey is heartwarming though the insta love is present and guessing on the time point maybe three to four months since the story takes place before and after summer.
All in all, I enjoyed this with its concept alone. I was captivated by the storyline of monsters lurking in the dark at sea. Tales like these are very interesting and entertaining.
