I did enjoy this book, but I can absolutely see how fans of horror may have been disappointed in it. "Unspeakable horrors" and "ultimate haunted house" (found on the cover) were not really good ways to describe this book. I can fully understand why some are irritated with this one. But since I'm a blind reader and don't read into my books for the most part, it didn't bother me at all.

I felt like there was a good amount of suspense and tension through the book. The structure is a little weird because you start off with how the crew came across the ship and get to relive the experience through the MC, Claire. Then you jump to "present time" where you realize that the story-telling has been her literally telling the story to the corporate bosses. The middle gets a little mundane and could have been cut down a bit since they're just getting her to say ok to going back out to the ship. Then she's back on the ship and chaos ensues once again.

I found this to be a fun read overall and the suspense had me flipping through pages and staying up later than I should have to read more. There is a little romance plot thrown in and I don't really feel like it added anything to the story at all and really didn't need to be in there, but it didn't bother me much.

I would recommend this one to be read for a good suspense read with some gore, but go into it knowing that you're not going to get a real horror story out of it.
