SYNOPSIS
Meg is a prehistoric shark. She lives in the depths of the sea and eats great white sharks like Jonas Taylor, who is on his honeymoon with his wife when he’s attacked by Megs. He survives and manages to escape but loses both his legs at one point during their fight against her.
Jonas has since become an expert deep-sea diver, an archaeologist, a fisherman and much more—but he still remembers everything about that fateful day when he was attacked by Megs for the first time.
REVIEW
- The book is a thrilling read.
- It’s an action-packed thriller.
- It’s for an adult audience.
- The main character, Meg (a female), is strong and smart, but also vulnerable and flawed in some ways—and her conflicting emotions are recognizable to anyone who has ever been in love or had parents who were sometimes absent from their lives.*This novel has all the elements you would expect from a page-turner: suspenseful moments; exotic locations; lots of action sequences that move quickly through time; characters who don’t always do what they’re supposed to do…but sometimes they do!
