MEDIA REVIEWS
Visceral...irresistible...a claustrophobic,deep-sea terror tale that will leave readers glad to be safely on dry landThoroughly enjoyable in the way that watching The Thing or Jaws is - and you'll definitely remember it next time you're considering a dip in the oceanGrant's protagonists are as compelling as ever...and a surprisingthird-act twist...will have readers clamoring for another installmentGrant's skillfully crafted story combines science,horror,and mystery into a gripping novel of terror on the sea. Readers will never look at mermaids in the same way againMira Grant masterfully ratchets the tension up and down,holding readers firmly in her grip as the mysterious and the monstrous collide. Stirring up a chilling,claustrophobic undercurrent in the dark world of unexplored deeps,Grant keeps a firm grip on the wheel as the story turns its bow into rougher water...A delicious dive for readers with an appetite for original oceanic horror.This book kept me reading long into the night,giggling at its gleeful push-pull embrace of B-movie horror tropes even as I gripped the pages tightWhat this author does so well is create a group of characters and makes you care about them - their hopes and dreams...then she throws them against a wall over and over again and makes them bleed...Cleverly drawn monsters that will visit you in your dreams. Descriptively speaking this is brilliant,brilliant stuff...Highly recommendedI was entertained and enraptured from the first page to the last. Also,I will now NEVER go swimming or sailing anywhere near the Mariana TrenchEngrossing and adrenaline-fueled...with blood-soaked scares that balance thought-provoking philosophical dilemmas
