This dark, lushly written story is beautiful enough to keep you completely mesmerized...right up until the moment when it pulls you below the surface and leaves you gasping for air. Ginny Myers Sain, author of Dark and Shallow Lies

The Depths is a horror gem that breathes new life into the gothic genre. With a resilient but shaken heroine, a vibrant setting that's both claustrophobic and expansive, and a plot with as many twists and turns as the tangled jungle around them, this enchanting novel holds your hand and guides you into its dark heart with ease. Lesperance's brilliant and terrifying novel is not one I'll soon forget. Courtney Gould, author of The Dead and the Dark
