Praise for Darker Water

A creepy and claustrophobic deep-sea thriller - timely and tense, this is going to haunt my nightmares. -- Wren James, author of The Quiet at the End of the World

 

Hooked from page 1. Emma Read has a voice that can dazzle across generations. -- Femi Fadugba, author of The Upper World

 

A gripping thriller that plunges you into a sinister, claustrophobic world: I was completely hooked. -- Amy McCaw, author of They Own the Night

 

A creeping, claustrophobic thriller with a scientific twist. Every page had me gasping for air alongside Betty, Maia and Audley - I was totally absorbed! -- Melissa Welliver, author of To The Death

 

Instantly submerges you in deep-water (literally), dark secrets and murky loyalties. An immersive and clever imagining of how a hopeful energy source discovery can be twisted in the hands of the wrong people. Following Maia, Betty and Audley, each with their own struggles and motivations, kept me wondering how it would all play out. And I wasn't expecting that ending! Proper twist! -- Kenechi Udogu, author of Augmented

 

Darker Water grabs you with its tentacles from the very beginning and doesn't let go. It's a page-turning mystery thriller that keeps you guessing and gasping for air. -- K. L. Kettle, author of Control Alter Delete

 

I couldn't put it down. It was a chilling, hyper-realistic look at a future that might come to pass and the pressure and darkness of the Depth was a force, creating more and more pressure with every chapter. I adored the unlikely duo of Maia and Betty. Their grit and honesty were a beacon of light in the darkness. -- S. A. Gales, author of iNSiDE

 

Totally gripping and terrifyingly believable, I raced through this. Strong climate fiction with themes of injustice, friendship and family. Great characters - I was rooting for Betty and Maia all the way. Can't wait for the next instalment. -- Kathryn Clark, author of Things I Learned While I was Dead
