This is a truly unique debut horror novel centered around a group of young divers who call themselves the "salt squad". Right from the beginning there's tension in the group from an earlier incident that's only hinted at. The descriptions of the otherworldly setting and strange underwater creatures add a sense of doom as they discover the creepy yet beautiful cavern. Flashbacks to the past help you understand the rift in the group as things start to change and a new and terrifying danger emerges.
I've drifted away from the YA genre the older I get, but I love horror novels and this one sounded interesting (plus the beautiful cover drew me in!). It was well written, the pacing was great, and I really enjoyed it. Great debut novel!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
