My favorite thing about Shea Ernshaw's writing is the atmosphere she creates. I read Winterwood last year and it propelled me to purchase The Wicked Deep. I loved the imagery and that spooky feeling that the story has, but the plot fell a bit flat for me.

I didn't like Bo. He didn't seem to have much personality. I wasn't really rooting for him... which sucks. I didn't find the plot twist believable.

The ending was great, though. I'm not a fan of unrealistic endings, so I liked that Ernshaw did what was necessary for her story, even though it's a painful and messy ending.

Even though I didn't like how it was executed, the story was terrific. I wish the plot twist was done differently and that we could see some things from Bo's perspective. I think that would've given him some more personality.
