I chose this book based off the cover and I would make that decision 10/10 times. I always judge books by their covers, but in a good way. This is an accompanying novella to the debut novel The Dragon’s Reign by the same author, which I have not read yet, but damn do I want to now.
This is an action-packed, gut-punching novella. Written simply, but written well, and it’s one hell of a good ride! Also, even though it’s only 100 pages, the author somehow makes a crazy twist work??? The night I picked it up, I almost couldn’t put it down…and I wasn’t happy that I had too. Once again, a bit of personal information, but I’m a HUGE shark fan—shark week, shark movies, shark novels, anything. The cover alone is worth having on a shelf, but a fast paced, claustrophobic deep sea disaster story? Unbeatable.
Is it a megalodon? A giant squid? A supernatural sea dinosaur? All of those in one? Is it linked to the disasters in The Dragon’s Reign? What would you do if a shark-monster larger than a cruise ship attacked? Read and see!
