Story
After having travelled west for weeks, the party of pioneers comes to a crossroads. It is time for their leader, George Donner, to make a choice. They face two diverging paths which lead to the same destination. One is well-documented, the other untested but rumoured to be shorter.

Ten years ago, four young men shot some elk and then went on with their lives. It happens every year; it's been happening forever; it's the way it's always been. But this time it's different. Ten years after that fateful hunt, these men are being stalked themselves. Soaked with a powerful Gothic atmosphere, the endless expanses of the landscape press down on these men - and their children - as the ferocious spirit comes for them one at a time.

Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip - a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfre. The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there - which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier.

Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Someone, or something, is haunting the Titanic.
Deaths and disappearances have plagued the vast liner from the moment she began her maiden voyage on 10th April 1912. Four days later, caught in what feels like an eerie, unsettling twilight zone, some passengers - including millionaire Madeleine Astor and maid Annie Hebbley - are convinced that something sinister is afoot. And then disaster strikes.
Four years later and the world is at war. Having survived that fateful night, Annie is a nurse on board the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, now refitted as a hospital ship. And she is about to realise that those demons from her past and the terrors of that doomed voyage have not finished with her yet....
Bringing together Faustian pacts, the occult and tales of sirens and selkies with themes of guilt and revenge, desire and destiny, The Deep offers a thrilling, tantalising twist on one of the world's most famous tragedies.

Fascinating Protagonists
I got to listen a while ago to the Hunger from Alma Katsu and it prepped me for what was coming in the DEEP , Alma Katsu has super interesting characters, they are not the straight forward boring Hero's from so many other books, they twist and turn and you never really know in which direction they might turn and that makes this so different and enjoyable add to this the Titanic and Britannica and you get a great story

Underwhelming
For anyone who has read/listened to The Hunger by Alma Katsu, The Deep will be a real disappointment - so much so it's difficult to believe that the two novels are from the same author. The literary adeptness and creative manipulation of both horror and historical genres is really good in The Hunger, but in The Deep it misses on both scores. This isn't helped by the narrator who, whilst good at accents and distinguishing characters from each other, appears to do so in the style of a primary school teacher reading to a class of particularly dim seven year-olds. If you haven't read The Hunger, skip this one and buy that!

confusing with poor ending
This book left me confused and frustrated. There are some well written passages, sub stories, but the two central timelines and character of annie / lilian mystified me and I still have no idea how they ended up blended together or why. The very small genuine supernatural part in a bathroom was silly and didnt match the rest of the book, neither did the scene in the swimming pool. The character of Mark Fletcher was just unbelievable . he had no personality at all, was a gambler, unreliable and cowardly, yet all the women characters cant contain their passion for him. just no. The best character, Madeline, was dumped in a lifeboat then promptly forgotten so Why was she even in the book ? I also hated the change of tense. I loathe present tense and would not have bought the book if Id known it was written this way, but to muddle it with various types of past tense was just beyond irritating. Finally, a dreadful narrator. She has a lovely speaking voice, but voice acting, sorry ms collingwood. you are not good at this, you sound like a sunday school teacher reading bible stories to six year olds. Save your credit people.

EXCELLENT
I read The Hunger i then i bought the audiobook The Deep. I read or listened to a few books between. I listened to Deep a what a story! It a very subtle ghost story, but its excellent. Based upon a true story & real life passengers (one of the nurses actually served on both the RMS Titanic & the RMS Brittanic) & the victims are also real. A very listenable story one which i would fully recommend.
