Another cached US Kindle giveaway: 6 copies of INTO THE DROWNING DEEP, by Mira Grant who is a super-close friend of @seananmcguire, and if Seanan says it's a good book, you know it's a good book. Well, also, I say it's a good book -- it's about mermaids, of a sort, and an investigation into what happened in the novella ROLLING IN THE DEEP. That makes this a sequel, but you don't really need to have read it to enjoy this one.
And it *is* enjoyable: a scientific expedition to the middle of the ocean, to figure out why an earlier ship was found deserted, all hands presumed killed (spoiler: they were). I *think* this book is also a favorite of @blackmudpuppy because it has amphibious lifeforms. Anyway. It is very good, and expands on ROLLING in fabulous ways without retreads. All novella-to-novel expansions should be this good.
