Fathomless by Greig Beck
2.0
This could be subtitled "Huge Old Fish In A Huge Underground Ocean"
That is until about 60% of the way in when it takes a left turn when it called be subtitled "Jaws - Again".
This kind of sums things up. Cate Granger is a biologist obsessed with the disappearance of her grandfather 60 years ago. When she investigates her latest leads she discovers a huge underground ocean and mounts an expedition. What could go wrong? Everything of course and it does until they end up in the water looking at death in the face.
This is only an semi interesting read. It didn't really grab me as it was like so many monster movies, where one by one, the expedition party, who of course has lots of secrets, are slowly killed as the lead character, who got everyone into the mess in the first place, is finally saved. But in this book, they get to do it all again.
Could have been better and was a bit disjointed.
