I received this book via Netgalley to give an honest review.Loved the story line. It was a book that I dove right into and hated to put it down.After reading this story I am a bit weary on going sailing now. Never went before not sure I would be going now.When I read the blurb I noticed it said that 'Kelly Pratihari-Reid and her husband sail their yacht into Antarctic waters, thinking their gravest concerns will be ice and storms—and their cracked marriage.' I didn't really get a sense of a broken marriage until later on in the story when Kelly has a memory of what she had done. I figured that it would have given us more examples of their cracked marriage. But that is okay it doesn't take you away from the true story being told.So pretty much the main character Kelly is a strong character who given everything she has been through she comes out strong. She can still think with her head about what she needs to do. Now me I would have been a blubbering mess no doubt.I had a feeling this book would have been more like 'ghost ship' yep you remember that movie? It had that feeling to it, but of course I was wrong. The way this ship kept following Kelly and Dean was scary.The "bad guy" the way he could torture someone without any remorse was just a oh wow!! I found myself cringing at what he was doing, and I like that. It is hard to find a good book that will have you cringe at what torture is written within the story.The suspense within the story was just awesome. It kept me right on the edge of my seat, and had me going okay what is going to happen next. This author is one I will be keeping my eye on, he has a great writing style that I enjoy.Not sure if it was a formatting issue or just written, but twice there was a paragraph that was repeated when I would turn the page.  I am hoping it has been corrected before the publication date.
