Lumen Reese

Thank you NetGalley for the chance to read and review this. While it's generally really hard for me to read contemporary vampire novels, I really wanted to check this out. However, ultimately this wasn't for me for the following reasons;

- Scifif but also religious?
- gov there very soon and very ready to do it all
- the cops believe them really quickly
- the mom is a vampire now; like thats the way to save everyone
- no one questions anything?
- did not believe the romance

However, this book had potential and a plot; could serve as a tv show or movie.… (altro)

I love the awesome cover for Fault by Lumen Reese. It told me everything I needed to know. I love creature features and eagerly cracked open my ereader to begin.

And begin we did. An earthquake that sunk part of the California coast gave the creature its freedom. It reveled in it.

Lucille Bennet is in Montana for work when it hits. Her children are lost, but she refuses to leave them for the creature to eat. She proceeds to build a submarine and enters the quarantine zone to retrieve their bodies. Things sure didn’t go the way I thought and I love it.

She is rescued by a ship called the Last Chance. A ship of criminals and rejects. It is dangerous, not just for her, but anyone that takes on the job. It is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. They go to the most dangerous place, where the creature is, searching for oil. Yeah, keep drilling and maybe you’ll find another creature. Only one of three workers will survive the mission.

I am not going to share a ton of details, because the blurb stayed nondescriptive. The parts of the book share a separate character and their point of view. We have some romance and a few laughs. She wins over the crew by cooking good food and with a little help from those she makes friends with.

Fault by Lumen Reese unraveled like a B movie, and I devour them like the creature devoured anything that got in its way. Fault seems to be a bit different, not just a creature feature, but scifi and a bit of time travel?

The beginning was action packed and set the hook. The middle introduces us to the cast of characters and life aboard the Baton Rouge. The end is tense and thought provoking. All in all a very satisfying read.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of Fault by Lumen Reese.

Let me just say that the blurb is interesting but does not convey the depth and presence this book has. You get drawn in immediately, and even if you manage to set this book down for a little while (very hard to do, I can assure you), it sticks with you. It's always there in the back of your mind, haunting you, making you wonder what's coming next. I loved Maggie so much, and it's so easy to fall into step beside her as she tries to bring Fox to justice that you lose all sense of the real world as you read. An absolute masterpiece that I highly recommend!… (altro)
