Despite being as far away as possible from a cave or underwater explorer, I'm always drawn to these types of stories. Something about the trapped, claustrophobia seems to check a box for me in both books and film, and Below called out to me from the NetGalley offerings and didn't disappoint.
Clocking in around 120 pages, this is an extremely quick read. The three main characters are introduced, they start to investigate an old mine for an upcoming tv special, and things start to go wrong.
There's not much more time to expand the world, but I didn't feel that the characters were underdeveloped. The reader knows something is going to go awry from the moment they open the book, but it was fun to experience the twists and turns as they come.
Overall I enjoyed this book. It was exactly what I expected (and hoped for) and was a fun read. I gave it 3.75 stars, rounded up to 4.
Thank you NetGalley for a lended copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
