Review: Into The Drowning

Into The Drowning Deep - Mira Grant, Christine Lakin

This started out good, which is why  it got the two stars.

 

This was a great idea and concept, which was poorly executed in the end.  There were characters that were likeable enough that their deaths were dramatic and upsetting.  The dolphins... It was just gratuitous animal death for the sake of it.  That pissed me off to no end.  So I finished listening just to see if everyone deserving got their comeuppance and of course not.  The asshole big game hunters got theirs and the douchey ex died horribly. But the asshole who was responsible for the dolphins, he lived.

 

And the Doctor we liked and thought was the conservationist was actually an asshole who wanted to wipe the mermaids, who were actually sirens, off the face of the earth.  The ending was unsatisfying and I'm so disappointed that it started off good and interesting and ended so badly!  I mean it was like WWE Creative got a hold of this story and spun their magic.  And anyone who is familiar with WWE in recent years knows they start off a storyline great but it always ends in disappointment.

 

Ugh I'm so angry I'm definitely returning and getting my Audible credit back.
