Publisher's Summary:
New York Times best-selling author Mira Grant, author of the renowned Newsflesh series, returns with a novel that takes us to a new world of ancient mysteries and mythological dangers come to life.
The ocean is home to many myths,
But some are deadly....
Seven years ago the Atargatis set off on a voyage to the Mariana Trench to film a mockumentary bringing to life ancient sea creatures of legend. It was lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a tragedy.
Now a new crew has been assembled. But this time they're not out to entertain. Some seek to validate their life's work. Some seek the greatest hunt of all. Some seek the truth. But for the ambitious young scientist Victoria Stewart, this is a voyage to uncover the fate of the sister she lost.
Whatever the truth may be, it will be found only below the waves.
But the secrets of the deep come with a price.

Paranormal/sci-fi storytelling at its very finest
A bunch of scientists on a research vessel above the Mariana Trench, being attacked by killer mermaids? To some it may sound too crazy but know that this is paranormal/sci-fi storytelling at its very finest. There's the familiar nerdiness of sci-fi and the mythical theme of paranormal, but there's also that special something that takes this story from good to great.
I lost track of the number of characters whose thoughts and ideas I got to follow and each of them had their own distinct voice and part in the story. And in the middle of all the action and craziness, there was still room for relationships to grow and moments where I as a reader got to laugh.
Here there be monsters
The latest work of speculative sci-fi/horror fiction by Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire) combines the author's greatest talents for creating near future technology, memorable characters both sympathic and decidedly not, and throwing this mix into the path of a monster with just enough scientific believability to be that much more terrifying.
After a film crew is lost at sea and monstrous footage from the voyage shows a slaughter by creatures that shouldn't exist, a group of scientists sponsored by an entertainment company set forth to find answers to the question of whether mermaids are real. This being a Mira Grant joint, they find much more than they bargained for.
Fans of JURASSIC PARK, THE ABYSS, and thrillers like RELIC will relish the passages where the author indulges in gleeful pulp horror, but there's a sense of wonder, discover, and humanism that elevates this book far above the usual fare. The pace is relentless, the twists delightful, and there's even some surprisingly sweet romance along the way.
And also, killer mermaids. Which are, if possible, even more rad than they sound.
No Fast Forwarding required
This story kept me hooked, intrigued and in suspense. In my opinion there was none of the contrived character development or fudged fillers. What I did find was interesting backstories to people and plot so wonderfully intertwined into a well written story.
Simply awesome.
