I've read several books by Darcy Coates at this point. I've gone back and forth with some others about how good I thought they were. Regardless of how much I like them, I always think that she can write the creepiest scenes that will stick with you.
From Below is very different from any of the other Coates books that I have read, but it is gold. If I had to pick something to improve, it would be that more back story to many of the characters would have been welcome. However, that didn't stop me from rooting for them and understanding their actions. The scenes in the ship were eerie and terrifying. The pictures in my head will stick with me for a while. This is the one that needs a movie deal, please and thank you.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a terrifying read. My heart was pounding at several different points. The characters all felt very real, especially in the situations they were all placed in. So glad I downloaded the ARC off of Edelweiss. I cannot recommend this enough. If you enjoyed Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling, give this a read.
