"A strange plague called the 'Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget--small things at first, like where they left their keys...then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily...and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered--a universal healer, from initial reports. It may just be the key to a universal cure. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea's surface. But now the station is incommunicado, and it's up to a brave few to descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths..."--

read for the tarot readathon 2023: king of swords
okay this book did not take use of the setting and this genuinely could have been in space or any another isolated setting which defeats the point. the ending was stupid. i enjoyed the exploration of trauma but it was trying to do that, be paranormal, have a plague, and be under the ocean. something was going to be underdeveloped and it was almost every aspect.
Made me feel slumpy. Would have loved to get to the horror parts but did not enjoy it enough to keep going. Much more sci-fi than I had expected
Fell very short of what I had hoped from this book. Wish it would have touched on the Disease (the Gets) more than it did, and wished that a lot of filler was taken out.
I didn't quite enjoy this one. It was fairly fast paced, I liked the setting being stuck in an underwater station/lab. I didn't connect with the characters and the type of scares weren't my cup of tea.
I enjoyed The Troop by Nick Cutter so I'd read more of his work, however this one just didn't quite hit the spot for me.
