A review by anastasiaf
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant

3.75

Really interesting and well thought out ideas, but it just didn’t quite get there for me. I do wonder if some of the issues were due to the audiobook narrator as I felt like her tone made the story tension feel less serious. 

I guess I didn’t care about it enough because I didn’t go look at other reviews and write detailed notes after.

Characters make some strange choices.
Like not running away from the railings when the first person is killed by the mermaids. Giving a whole monologue while the captive mermaid can hear. Etc.

“Write your own ticket” I don’t think I’ve ever heard this phrase in my life as much as I’ve heard it in this one book. 

There is so little book left (1hr) and the danger is not over. Im worried the story won’t wrap up and I’ll have to wait for the sequel

43 min left (incl credits) - either everyone is going to die or they’re getting saved and there is no epilogue. Just checked and there is a 4.5 min epilogue so maybe they get saved? There seems to be some sort of big bad that Tori is trying to warn everyone about though… </spoiler

The music during the credits would have been perfect to have DURING the reading….
