Eldritch Ocean Abyss: The book features killer mermaids which inhabit the darkest and deepest parts of the Marianas Trench. It’s explained how exactly how the mermaid’s bodies works, how they function, their whole lifestyle really, but never in a way hat makes it hard to comprehend. Their older sister Hallie steps in and interprets for their convenience and ease for events such as those. Jill and Theo goad each other into new lows was fun to read and I was rooting for them to gather the tatters of their broken marriage into a semblance of a relationship, maybe. Of course, this does have a romantic subplot, but it’s all edge of your seat fright as character after character is slaughtered by the sirens emerging from the deep sea.

Theo says Imagine's contract with the dolphins covers their ass both ways: either the dolphins are animals and they don't need a contract, or the dolphins are people and they agreed to this. Seven years ago, the Atargatis set off on a voyage with a crew of scientists to the Mariana Trench – the deepest spot in the ocean. Not to mention the number of kill scenes are surprisingly minimal – when they’re there, they’re good - but most happen off page which must be one of the stranger missed opportunities in this book.

Into the Drowning Deep – Mira Grant

Glad-to-Be-Alive Sex: After their first attempt is interrupted by the beginning of the mermaid attack, Tory and Olivia finally get their chance at the very end of the book. I did a little digging and I believe Grant is writing/has written a sequel but her publisher only picked up this novel, so it depends solely on public response. Maybe their parents/Grant were aiming for a Kardashian type thing, but if I saw a number of K’s on the page also, my eyes would still spasm. A number of the sirens' traits are similar to anglerfish which foreshadows their Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism. I haven’t read the novella that precedes it though I did see that a movie was in development for the prequel.

While Grant offers a conclusion for our characters, and even a few reveals as to what exactly is going on, not everything is so tight - a lot of loose ends as to the science are left behind, and the ending to all the action is a bit. At the Mariana Trench, Heather Wilson attempts to become the first human to reach the Challenger Deep in a submersible. Asking scientists not to look into an open box was like asking cats not to saunter through an open door. Lipstick Lesbian: Olivia looks traditionally feminine, to the point where she often cosplays Emma Frost, and is exclusively interested in women.
