Which leads me, not incidentally, to one of the things that Grant/McGuire is finally getting right for such a prolific author who likes to see the unseen and counter expectations: we finally have a female cast that feels developed and well-rounded.

Also, Tori's ex, Jason, was only in the book for a few chapters, yet I thought his were the most well-written?

And it’s what makes it so terrifying - humanity is naturally curious, and one day it’s going to bite us in the ass. I do hope for Grant and myself we’ll see a second book published someday, and I believe there’s a film in the works so it should stir up plenty of interest.When not writing, she splits her time between travel, auditing college virology courses, and watching more horror movies than is strictly good for you. They're literally aroused by killing things and are treated like Psychos For Hire by the rest of the characters, rightly so, as Jacques admits they've both murdered people who got in the way of their hunts.

Olivia is autistic and so incredibly well written, and I really think reading her character was a lot for me, and maybe, after two rereads, I'm thinking a lot about how much I connected to her, and how that felt in terms of my personal identity. Characters will continuously say “we are not going to get out of this alive,” but as passively as if they are describing the weather. Spending an unhealthy amount of time afterwards reading up on mermaids and all kinds of creatures that exist in a section of the sea that many have labeled "Here Are Unknown Monsters" was just pure masochism. No Bisexuals: Tory in her internal monologue mentions encountering this attitude before, thinking of how people sometimes assumed she's just confused or indecisive over her sexuality, though it isn't the case and Tory's actually bisexual.While the plot centers on Tory, there are several other POV characters that flesh out the crew and bring their different perspectives and expertise to the puzzle of what exactly the Atargatis found and how the new expedition will survive.

I was interested in Grant’s book, which went more of the latter route, creating mermaids with grotesque bodies who will gladly eat humans, and was pleasantly rooted in science. Not to mention the number of kill scenes are surprisingly minimal – when they’re there, they’re good - but most happen off page which must be one of the stranger missed opportunities in this book.Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Jacques and Michi are married big game hunters killing just for the thrill, sometimes endangered species as well, but truly love each other. This devastates Jacques, who had always expected them to be brought down together by one of their big game quarries. 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.

A haunting Southern Gothic from an award-winning master of suspense, A House With Good Bones explores the dark, twisted roots lurking just beneath the veneer of a perfect home and family. A good beach read is straightforward enough that you can pick it up and put it down whenever you need to take a dip in the water or reapply that sunscreen. There are plenty of secrets, and conflicts, and choices to make during reading, following a merperson that can be almost anything the reader wants. They’re also mimics and use that to their advantage when they’re hunting, luring animals and humans to their deaths with just a change of their voice. Mira lives in a crumbling farmhouse with an assortment of cats, horror movies, comics, and books about horrible diseases.

And while a romance is brought into it, it's a queer one, quite possibly the first in all her thirty-five-ish books. And whatever it was, Tory was going to find it, and make it pay for what it had done to her sister . He had taken the little creatures living in the siren’s “hair” and performed the makeshift necropsy in his cabin rather than in a lab setting.
