The Steel Shark by Rebecca Cantrell
4.0
Received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
It truly does suck that my dream man is an agoraphobic fictional character who lives under Grand Central Station. Joe Tesla, in this, the fourth novel in Rebecca Cantrell's Joe Tesla series, remains a character who is full of heart, warmth and an intelligence that just won't be stopped by anything. Not even crashing submarines.
This newest installment caught me from the first page, making me quite anxious to get into my reading and finish the book, but at the same time I desperately didn't want to because I didn't want it to end.
Without spoilers I will tell you there is a lot of character development for Joe, as well as Vivian, and the mystery isn't so much a mystery as it is a determined, forceful plot-line pulling you through the book. The wonder in this is that even though there is no big huge whodunnit mystery in this book there is still enough of a mysterious tone to keep you guessing as to what might happen next.
Rebecca Cantrell's strength in writing for me has always been the way in which she captures my attention with just a single moment in her books. In this book there were so many moments if I had been holding a physical book I would've gotten paper cuts by how quickly I would've turned the pages.
