I was so interested in this book due not only to the description indicating some unknown terror deep in an underground cave but also (silly enough) due to the cover art hinting at some unknown enemy lurking in the shadows.

But sadly, after reading 17 of the 37 chapters (approx. 50% of the book) I just couldn't latch on to this story.

The premise sounded great, but the main character(s) were annoying AF. Gyre constantly lashing out at EM (her "handler" and boss), complaining about the reason for the expedition, and the repetitive thoughts going through her head page after page led me to dislike her very much.

There was just nothing that really jumped out and grabbed my interest after 222 pages and I'm moving on.
