About this listen

When the Imagine Network commissioned a documentary on mermaids, to be filmed from the cruise ship Atargatis, they expected what they had always received before: an assortment of eyewitness reports that proved nothing, some footage that proved even less, and the kind of ratings that only came from peddling imaginary creatures to the masses.

They didn't expect actual mermaids. They certainly didn't expect those mermaids to have teeth.

This is the story of the Atargatis, lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a maritime tragedy. Whatever the truth may be, it will only be found below the bathypelagic zone in the Mariana Trench...and the depths are very good at keeping secrets.

This book serves as a prequel to Into the Drowning Deep, which has been on my TBR pile for a long while now. We follow along in this one with the crew and passengers of the ill-fated Atargatis as they search for what's behind the legend of the mermaid.

As a shorter story, I had expected us to be into the action as it were, a lot sooner than we did. That's nothing against the story - this is a good listen by all accounts, but not much horror happens in this horror book until the last hour or so. Once it does, however, it doesn't let up until the end!

Overall, I would recommend this book - I've a lot of respect for the author, having enjoyed several of her other books over the years. The narrator in this one definitely did the book justice for what makes a good 3 hour listen.

Omg! I need more, more, more! Another great, yet shorter story from Mira Grant! So hope there is more coming soon!

What an introduction to this series! I love the format, and the doomed narrative -- and as a biologisy, I loved the science! I cannot WAIT to read the next book!!

AMAZING

Some interesting ideas marred by clumsy dialogue and a central premise that fails to deliver on the horror.

Entertaining enough for it's three hour runtime but don't expect to be blown away.

Inventive, but Underwhelming

This was a fun story, short but enjoyable and will definitely be listening to Into The Drowning Deep soon. The narration was good, it was easy to recognise the individual characters, and I liked the narrator’s voice. Would have given it 3 n a half stars if I could
