On the one hand, it is a very well-written book with detailed science, engaging and diverse characters, vivid descriptions, and a good plot. So objectively it should get at least 4 stars for all that.
But I'm writing this review 2 years after reading it and honestly cannot reread the SYNOPSIS without starting to hyperventilate because this book was so bloody terrifying (for me). I know there are people out there who would enjoy the stress of
So if you like mermaids, oceans, boating, or HEA... probably don't read this book.
If you like terrifying monsters attacking a bunch of characters that you're emotionally invested in... go for it??

also, the implosion of heather’s submersible would not have left any remains behind, and she would not have lived long enough to see water make it into the submersible at that depth.
overall a really good book and clearly written with another one in mind!
