Bait by J. Kent Messum
4.0
As a fan of 'Sharknado', 'Bait' (the unrelated movie) and 'Sharktopus', I picked up this book looking for an oh-my-god-that's-so-bad-it's-good kind of thing. Turns out, if you add all the elements for a B-grade shark movie together with good writing, you get something incredibly wonderful.
Whilst this book was DEFINITELY over the top gory and ridiculous, I actually really enjoyed the backstories of all characters involved. That didn't stop me gleefully anticipating the gory demise of the next one, though.
Messum has done a great job, although his writing did have the 'fresh' feel of a first time author.
Looking forward to reading more by him, as I believe his writing style will develop into something even better.
