Post here if you are reading or planning on reading Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant. No spoilers please!

I read it back in July and will be jumping in on the discussion.

I have it loaded on my kindle and intend to start tonight! I've read a lot of Seanan McGuire but never any of her alter ego Mira Grant so I'm looking forward to seeing the difference.

From the reviews I'm not expecting much, but it is on my TBR and the price is decent so I give it a try.

On TBR, so shall take advantage of this group read. Excited for the setting.

Edit: oops, I have to leave this unfinished. Didn't quite meet my expectations, and I don't have the patience to suffer through it.

Some chapters in now and if one lowers the expectations regarding prose and content this could become a fun B-movie read for Halloween month.

That's a good way to think of it! I've just read the prologue so far and that's exactly the atmosphere I'm getting.

I read it last year and it was quite like a B horror movie (but with better dialogue and diversity)

Basically if you like B movies I think you would find it enjoyable

I'm 60 pages in and enjoying this book; not expecting much, but sometimes you just need a "good read"
