Into the Drowning Deep (Rolling in the Deep, #1) opens Goodreads in a new tab

My thoughts

4/5stars Humanity has feared the dark since time immemorial, and yet humanity has never experienced the dark, because it wasn't until recently - the age of cunning hands and clever machines - that the dark had been anything more than a whispering legend, a rumor of a nightmare. This was the perfect spooky/halloween-y book i needed right now. Killer mermaids? SIGN ME TF UP. Somehow Mira Grant's writing works better for me than Seanan McGuire. The amount of research put into this almost had me looking over my shoulder for a creepy killer mermaid in my very-far-away-from-sea home :P The only reason this isn't a perfect 5 stars is because the characters felt very shallow and the pacing kinda seemed off to me. Like there were chunks that could have been cut off without majorly impacting the overall story, so ya. But all in all a good start to my spooky tbr!
