Rolling in the Deep

I loved Rolling in the Deep; it was just the right amount of horror for me. It is gruesome and bloody and had me thinking about it long after, but it did not give me nightmares. I enjoyed Mira Grant's writing style, there was humor, and there was tension. I appreciated the research she put into the book that made finding mermaids plausible and terrifying. These are the kind of mermaids you neither want to find or want to be found by. I loved the ensemble cast of characters from the Imagine filmmakers, to the scientist, to the performers, and the Captain and her first mate. A few reviews were saying that the story wasn't long enough to properly flesh out the ensemble cast to get you to care about them and what happened to them, but I had no problem being scared and sorry for them. I was glued to the pages, I felt the tension, and I hoped that someone might survive (even though I knew from the beginning no one would). And I will be reading Into the Drowning Deep.
