“Undertow. Caught in something that’s pulling him under, deeper and deeper into the dark.” A poignant tale of two estranged brothers reconnecting. After a lifetime of trauma and strange occurrences, Jamie and Eric catch up in a bar in Hawaii. The following events will break their bond further, or forge it into something stronger; a body, a boat, and an unbelievable cosmic encounter alter both their lives. I really, really enjoyed the author’s writing and descriptive style. There were some seriously creepy moments and the whole boat foray evoked a sense of dread for me.

It starts out with such a raw and real representation of what would happen in that situation and then it all just goes sideways. I read this in two separate sittings and there was not one part where it lagged. I was either what um what or just oof the whole time. I couldn’t really even categorise what genre this book would be. There’s so many different aspects all thrown together but one thing I do know is I will not be eating any fish for a long time. Those descriptions will haunt me. There was sadness and deep feeling in the writing but also weirdness and gore. This was a nice all rounder.
