I had never read a book by Blaine Daigle before. Now I’m wondering why I hadn’t. This book is creepy in the best ways. The author uses dreams and atmosphere to make you think of all the creepy things coming for you. An atmospheric triumph.
You’ll follow Whitt and the crew of the crab boat Sonia on this nightmare of a journey in the Bering Sea.
Don’t miss your chance to read this book!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is a harrowing haunting novel about loss and identity set on a crab fishing vessel. The monsters of the deep are real and the claustrophobic environment and hair raising narrative sinks as deep into your bones as the wintery storms in the Bering Sea.

Whitt is a man with no memories. He's alone and wanders from place to place under the pull of a "man" with emerald eyes. He finds himself aboard a shipping boat in Alaska hoping to rid himself of his nightmares and emptiness.

What he and the other crew experiences is anything but comforting as the vastness of the sea and horrific events begin to unfold, revealing secrets about the crew and captain that will change his life forever..

This novel is an emotionally charged but bleak affair with nothing around but the neverending waves and the icy grip of the winter. The work is hard and dangerous but the true danger might just be from his crew mates, the captain, and the mysterious man who whispers things to him. Horrible things. Bloody things.

Blaine Daigle has outdone himself with this one and you definitely want to experience this new nightmare. I highly recommend it!

5+ stars

Blaine is writing on another level. He has a way with words that I can’t explain, other than to say it’s just gorgeous and entrancing. I’m awestruck each time I read his work. This is my third book by Mr Daigle, and I can assure you that every time I read his work, I know and can feel in my bones exactly where I am at, even knowing I have never once been there before.
The way he describes the ocean and mariner life, seems like he’s lived it his whole life (who knows, maybe he has). He captures the isolation and danger of the open sea so well, that it’s suffocating just reading about it.

This book wasted no time drawing me in, and putting me right into the thick of it. The won’t give any details at all, as I do not want to spoil a single thing.
Just be prepared for an intense and emotional ride Through a Dark and Endless Sea.

If you are familiar with Blaine Daigle and his work, you already know what you are signing up for, and if you’re not…why the hell not?
