No light. No air. No escape. Hundreds of feet beneath the ocean's surface, a graveyard waits... Years ago, the SS Arcadia vanished without a trace during a routine voyage. Though a strange, garbled emergency message was broadcast, neither the ship nor any of its crew could be found. Sixty years later, its wreck has finally been discovered more than three hundred miles from its intended course...a silent graveyard deep beneath the ocean's surface, eagerly waiting for the first sign of life. Cove and her dive team have been granted permission to explore the Arcadia's rusting hull. Their purpose is straightforward: examine the wreck, film everything, and, if possible, uncover how and why the supposedly unsinkable ship vanished. But the Arcadia has not yet had its fill of death, and something dark and hungry watches from below. With limited oxygen and the ship slowly closing in around them, Cove and her team will have to fight their way free of the unspeakable horror now desperate to claim them. Because once they're trapped beneath the ocean's waves, there's no going back.

I have so many questions about this book. The first 40% was so boring but I had zero idea who any of the characters were. Typically I LOVE Darcy's character work but I just never really fully grasped any of these characters. at the 40%ish mark, things started going a bit crazy and I did like the plot overall but I had zero idea what was actually happening. Everything was very confusing. Which like, I totally get because I'm sure it was confusing for the characters and that adds to the feel of things being scary but I just... it wasn't the Darcy book for me and that's okay.
What we have learned is that I prefer her haunted house stories and that's just going to be something I remember in the future. Still a good book, still creepy, just, not my favorite.
0Darcy Coates you amazing writer you.
From below gave me "dead silence by SA Barnes" when reading it and that book was equally impressive. You can feel the tension and the horror of the boat, the vast ocean, and the running out of oxygen because Coates' writing is that amazing. I highly recommend!
