They Drown Our Daughters

A dark family curse originated when two cousins disappeared from Cape Disappointment over a century ago. Ever since, the women of their bloodline loose themselves, in various terrifying ways, to the ocean. Now, Judith, Meredith and Alice want to put an end to it. But what lies in wait for them, in the darkness of the ocean?

While this is touted at a horror book, I never found it particularly scary. The beginning was the most disturbing part - and very effective. It was well - written, perhaps a little slow in parts, but ultimately kept me hooked.

Without giving too much away - for a book about ghosts haunting from the depths of the ocean, I was able to suspend my disbelief easily. However, there is a certain plot point (quite a major one) surrounding a dweller on an island that was just too far fetched for me. And we never really got an explanation about it.

Many thanks to NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
