What caught me out the more I read through the novel, was how the mermaids either (a) appeared too little, or (b) when they were there, the threat rarely felt imminent. Imagine needs a financial success, but some aboard the ship are there to atone for what happened seven years ago. Science will continue to do what science will do, free from morality, free from ethical concerns, and most of all, free from the petty worry that it will not be believed. Tory is developed well enough to be both driven and kind, and her friend Luis is the epitome of the distracted, awkward scientist. It’s just a matter of personal preference, because objectively speaking, Grant does a great job at creating these hauntingly beautiful mermaids and evoking a horrifying atmosphere.Shout-Out: Talking about mermaids, Tory and Olivia refer to the communication barrier in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode " Darmok".

It focuses on Tory Stewart, a sonar specialist who becomes obsessed with mermaids after her sister's disappearance. Seven years later, Imagine Entertainment sends another ship, The Melusine, to set sail for answers, a desperate ploy they hope will secure the company a legacy that is built on more than mediocre science fiction movies and rumors of a massive maritime hoax. While there is a romantic subplot central to the book, Into the Drowning has a broad range of characters. A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.The combination of acclaimed filmmakers Mary Lambert and Sean Hood is the perfect pairing to realize the book’s potential. Linus himself is a lovable protagonist despite his prickliness, and Klune aptly handles his evolving feelings and morals. The mixing of land and sea represented by the lagoon morphs into the mixing of alien and human, sometimes harmonious and sometimes very much not. Most novels tend to consider mermaids as magic or mythological, but Grant’s depiction makes them almost appear real with the amount of detail and realism she goes into. If you read the words ‘killer mermaids’ and then shrugged… well, I don’t think reading the rest of the review will convince you, but I’ll do my best.
