⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Musgrave successfully constructs a tense atmosphere by juxtaposing the cold precision of marine science with the chaotic dread of Sumerian mythology. The dual narrative structure, linking underwater exploration with NCIS investigations into unnatural deaths, provides a compelling framework for the horror. The use of specific technology like submersibles grounds the supernatural elements in tangible reality, enhancing the sense of isolation and danger within the abyss. The looming eclipse adds necessary urgency to the mission against the demonic entity. While the blend of technical details and occult lore may not suit all tastes, it effectively targets readers who enjoy structured, research-heavy horror. The tone remains serious and threatening throughout, avoiding lighthearted moments in favor of sustained dread.
