Which brings me to my next problem with this read: the characters. I found that most of the characters in this book felt really underdeveloped. We keep being told how the characters are, but some of them consistently act contrary to what we are being told throughout the story. (Cove is supposed to care about her team's safety above everything, yet she is constantly making bad decisions that put her team in danger. Roy was presented as reliable and experienced in diving, yet caused a lot of problems for the team throughout the story.) Additionally, the motivations for most of these actions felt very weak and unconvincing to me. Nov. 12: Just finished reading about the second dive. The creep factor is turned up and this is getting intense. Even weirder is the strange happenings on the ship in 1928.

My personal problem was all the technical details made the read more of a "chore" to get through at times. My attention would be on a great scene, only to be derailed by silt moving (for the 500th time), or something else that took me "out of the moment". There was also one part that could have added so much more, if elaborated on, in my opinion. Darcy Coates makes good use of the claustrophobic setting and her characters, even though they are making some dumb decisions here and there, are more plausible in their actions as is usually the case in books like this. She also employs a dual timeline that lets the reader slowly uncover what had happened aboard the Arcadia in 1928 while in the present timeline our crew of divers will find out as well. This form of storytelling was working perfectly here. I have read many scary stories in my day. I am very familiar with the sentiment of fear both in a tangible, literal sense as well as what the emotion means logically; the way our brains transform within our bodies grasping for coherent rationals to the events transpiring around us. It is the gift of a great writer to provide the reader with an experience of immersion. The beginning of this book saw us meet a cast of characters in the present day as well as view the cataclysmic events leading to the sinking of the Arcadia, through the introspection of Harland, a crew member on the ship in 1928.Okay, budgetary constraints are a lot to do with what makes this film what it is and a lot of its shortfalls can be forgiven because of that. But it isn't just the dreadful compositing or weightless CGI fish that bring the film down. It's a mess from beginning to end. In short… take it away, Sharky: This felt more like a paranormal mystery than an actual full-fledged horror novel. As events started to unravel, that was the vibe I got in this being more mystery than actual horror. There’s nothing wrong with that but being a huge horror enthusiast, I needed scarier events and situations than all this extra dialogue, often which was just repeating what had already transpired. I definitely wanted more scares, creepiness, and what you’d typically find in a horror novel.

Firstly, sorry if I have limited sympathies for a couple who can afford to book a last-minute luxury holiday to Vietnam, even though only one of them works, and then call it off after a day and hang the expense. No. Some people deserve to be eaten by sharks. Not that I’m saying that’s what happens. No spoilers here. I’m just saying that when the husband got eaten by a shark I didn’t really care. How did he taste Sharky? “A bit rich.” Hahaha. Oh Sharky, you card!
