Toth at first and her no-bullshit attitude about the mermaids. I was interested to see how they would all come together on the new expedition and intermingle. I can’t wait to get out on the water and see what happens!!! There was drama and backstory and mystery and shady corporations.

The beginning is where everything was being set up. The best part of the book for me was the very beginning, which is the complete opposite of what I have heard from other reviewers who say it has a slow start, but really gets good in the end. Except they’re not really mermaids, they’re like weird mutated frogs or something? 🤨🤷‍♂️ It made no fucking sense. Oh and a couple mermaids thrown in for good measure. What I got was a VERY poorly written, bland, melodramatic, cheesy, preachy, boringgggg book about stupid characters. I was expecting a high-class thriller/horror book about killer mermaids, which sounded awesome. I was very excited to read this one and I had pretty high expectations going in, because I had heard how well-written and smart it was, how gory and scary, and thought provoking. It was basically Sharknado with mermaids. It was poorly constructed, repetitive, unintelligent, and very dull. I really wanted to love it! However, it just didn’t work for me.

I had heard such great things about it, and I was in the mood for something chilling and scary, so I thought it would be the perfect read right now. 😐 Very disappointed in Into the Drowning Deep, unfortunately. Maybe it’s time we started asking ourselves exactly why that is.” Even inland, if there’s a big enough lake, I guarantee you there’s a local community with a story about women in the water with beautiful voices who lure men to their deaths. No matter where you go, the mermaids got there first. “What you have to understand about the mermaid legend is that it’s universal.
