From Below by Darcy Coates

Decades ago,  the cruise liner Arcadia sailed off course and was never heard from again.  Their last transmission "They're in the walls". Now,  Cove and her dive team have permission to explore the wreck for a documentary to discover what exactly went wrong. But from the first,  it seems her own team is cursed. Their robotic divers have all shorted out, forcing her team to dive manually three hundred feet below the surface. At first there's celebration when they confirm that it is in fact the shipwreck Arcadia, but when they enter the wreck an eerie sense of doom settles in. Strange and frightening messages have been left on the walls,  windows boarded over, and the odd tapping sound that never seems to end.  At each dive,  they discover more of the horror within until they're left fighting to escape with their lives.  
I love horror novels and this one is truly unique.  Diving so far down in the ocean with no easy escape creates an entirely different set of threats than other horror novels I've read.  I definitely won't be going on any cruise ships anytime soon!! I received an advance reader copy of this book. The views and opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.
