Afraid of the dark? You should be ... Part horror, part psychological nightmare, The Deep by Nick Cutter is a novel fans of Stephen King and Clive Barker won't want to miss. A plague is destroying the world's population. The 'Gets makes people forget. First it's the small things, like where you left your keys ... then the not-so-small things, like how to drive. And finally your body forgets how to live. But now an unknown substance with extraordinary power to heal has been discovered in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Nicknamed ambrosia, it might just be the miracle cure the world has been praying for. A research lab has been established eight miles below the sea's surface, but all contact with the team has been lost. Dr Luke Nelson's brother is down there and as desperation for a cure outweighs common sense, he agrees to descend through the lightless fathoms ... perhaps to face an evil blacker than anything he could have imagined.

read for the tarot readathon 2023: king of swords
okay this book did not take use of the setting and this genuinely could have been in space or any another isolated setting which defeats the point. the ending was stupid. i enjoyed the exploration of trauma but it was trying to do that, be paranormal, have a plague, and be under the ocean. something was going to be underdeveloped and it was almost every aspect.
Made me feel slumpy. Would have loved to get to the horror parts but did not enjoy it enough to keep going. Much more sci-fi than I had expected
Fell very short of what I had hoped from this book. Wish it would have touched on the Disease (the Gets) more than it did, and wished that a lot of filler was taken out.
I didn't quite enjoy this one. It was fairly fast paced, I liked the setting being stuck in an underwater station/lab. I didn't connect with the characters and the type of scares weren't my cup of tea.
I enjoyed The Troop by Nick Cutter so I'd read more of his work, however this one just didn't quite hit the spot for me.
