Deep Waters #5
Secrets of the Void
Not yet published
Expected 2 Jan 26She was never meant to wake up.
Ellie was created in secret. A perfect clone of a powerful woman long dead. For years, she knew only sterile walls, the touch of cold instruments, and the voice of the scientist who molded her into something useful. Something obedient.
Until the day she opened her eyes and met a god.
Proteus. The sea’s first son. The god who once ruled the depths, and who has spent centuries imprisoned by those who feared him. Now freed, his vengeance is as vast as the ocean itself. He will reclaim his dominion. Drown the world that betrayed him. And he will use Ellie, the clone who carries the face of his enemy, to do it.
But the more time he spends with her, the more his carefully built hatred begins to unravel. Because Ellie isn’t just a tool. She’s clever, defiant, heartbreakingly alive. And Proteus—ancient, merciless Proteus—finds himself wanting her more than he wants his revenge.
She was made to serve.
He was born to destroy.
Together, they could end humanity. Or save it.

i just wanna first thank Emma Hamm for letting me be a beta reader for this wonderful book!
i was invested in every single aspect of this book. the plot, the romance, the tension.... emma hamm does it once again. Proteus was an interesting character design. i did really love watching both his & Ellie's development throughout the story (and oh my goodness was there alot of development!)
i also really like the closer look to the Above and how the world has been laid out. good worldbuilding is super important for a good story, and i think the worldbuilding in this book was exceptional.
i ate this book up 🤭 5/5 stars, and i have to say i think this was my favorite of the series, and it's bittersweet to think it was the end. i love this world so much.
