Rolling in the Deep

Denaiir

I liked it way more than the full novel, I think the short format worked better, it was more quick-paced. The characters were not great but the action was worth it

I love a good mermaid story, and if those mermaids happen to be murderous? Even better! I either love or hate novellas because I worry about not having enough time to make the story feel fleshed out, but this was perfect. Grant packed so much into the story to make it entertaining and suspenseful. None of the characters felt flat, and nothing was lacking in the plot. All of the characters felt realistic, and you could tell that Grant put a lot of research into all the scientific aspects. I also thought the disability rep was well-done. If you like sea-based horror, then I recommend checking it out.

It has been awhile since I picked up anything with a horror bent. This one had my heart racing throughout, but it especially got me when (view spoiler)[the mermaids started mimicking the people on the boat. Sort of reminded me of that Doctor Who Midnight episode, which I find one of the creepier episodes (hide spoiler)]. I am not saying this particular one is going to give me nightmares, but it certainly might give me the heebie jebbies when I am in the water. Or near the water.

Update on reread 2018...still holds up!

Jag förväntade mig inte en sådan unik tagning på sjöjungfrur. Jag är verkligen positivt överraskad!

Reread 2020 eftersom jag har planer på att läsa Into The Drowning Deep. Jag tyckte lika mycket om den denna gången och kunde lägga märke till mer saker än första gången jag läste den. Så väldigt otäcka varelser

Now these are the types of mermaids I like to read about! Would have given it 5 stars except there seemed to be a bit of head-hopping.
