I had just read Thresher by Michael Cole and to be honest I found it to be basically Jaws with some changes so was not impressed but this was not that, I enjoyed this book but I think I should have waited till summer to read this it would have had more of an impact. ( )

Deep Sea Screaming Terror!

Backstory:

A shark named Scar breaks free from captivity while it is being transported from one ship to another as his creator (Olivia Zoller) watches from a distance. Olivia cannot believe her misfortune when her prized shark twists free and lands in the ocean. As she tries to gather a crew together to go after it, Scar heads out to sea as he realizes that he is free to roam the ocean depths.

The people of Cross Point are unaware of the danger heading their way until Scar starts attacking boats that are out near their beach, but the worse is yet to come when Scar attacks a pod of killer whales that belong to a marine biologist (Lisa) and from there it becomes hell in the ocean!

Lisa along with Nick (Sheriff of Cross Point) decide to go after the shark and try to kill it, unaware that other people are hunting for the shark too (Olivia and her crew), but who gets to the shark first?

No spoilers here as you will just need to read the book!

Thoughts:

This is my second book by Michael R. Cole and he is becoming my go-to sea creature author as his writing style just captures my attention within moments of the storyline and throws me into the ocean depths!

The pace is fast as the shark rips through everything in this story! There is lots of blood and gore within these pages as the graphic descriptions are just full of serrated teeth splatter!

There is quite a bit of shark and killer whale fights too within this story which throws the action into full throttle which kept me turning the pages faster. Tons of shark/whale action and shark/human action kept my insomnia fueled a few nights!

I read the last 30% of the book within just a few hours as the story literally went into overdrive! Looking forward to reading more books by this author as he has tons of books out there to read! Giving this book five "Thriller Killer Shark" stars! ( )
