Beneath the Earth by H.S. Stone
4.0
I really enjoyed this book quite a lot. It had a really good vibe and storyline to me. I could have kept reading about the events on the island. In fact, if they had played it right, I could see this turning into a series. It had really great potential. It was enjoyable and a fresh and unique angle. I kind of got a Tremors does YA feel about it.
That being said, I have to admit that there were a few flaws in the story. It could really use a good polish to really give the story it's full potential. The build-up and the intense moments could really use a bit more flare. A lot of the cases, the moments just fall flat. Also, there are a few inconsistencies in the story that I noticed. Nothing major. Just small things like the number of people. The last thing I want to address is the fact that it felt a bit rushed to me in many places. You don't really get the full character development I feel the story needed.
Overall, I still recommend this story highly. It's a great story with great potential. While I'm sure it's going to be a standalone, I do feel it could have been a great series. It turned out great either way. It took all of my efforts not to devour this entire book in one sitting. That's the price I pay for being busy though!
