A BookBub "Best Books Coming This Winter"A haunting mystery beneath the ocean's surface. One woman's reckoning with the past. Long-buried secrets waiting to rise.Hawai'i, 1998. When a string of rare shark attacks unsettles the once-peaceful Kohala coast, marine biologist Minnow Gray is called in to investigate. Known for her uncanny connection to sharks, she is the island's best hope for uncovering why the attacks are happening--a mystery that has both the local community and the tourism industry on edge--and for determining whether the same great white still haunts the coastline.Witness to an unspeakable tragedy involving a white shark and her own father, Minnow has carried a darkness with her ever since. She knows, deep inside, that unlocking the memories of that long-ago morning is the only way to truly heal. And as she searches for answers, the past and present collide, revealing shocking and unexpected truths that cut deep as the sea itself.The longer she's in Hawai'i, the more she comes to see that her journey here might be as much about finding herself as finding the shark.An atmospheric exploration of the intricate/fragile dance between humans and sharks, set against a backdrop of stunning Hawaiian landscapes and deep-sea danger, The Shark House is a tale of resilience, redemption, and the raw power of the natural world--and of the courage to face what lies within.Dive in, if you dare.

Mehso-so

Sharks + women scientists? I‘m in. This had strong moments—Farallon scenes, shark mystery, marine biology—but it got bogged down by too many subplots and a romance that felt obligatory. Loved the ocean parts but wish it had stayed more focused. Sometimes less is more.
