pickI loved this book! I was expecting more shark, but what I wasn't expecting delivered much more than I could have imagined. The real monsters were the humans. They all had traits that could make them unlikable but this made them realistic. I was cheering for the shark the whole time! Peter Benchley wrote an immersive tale that made the humans actions and inactions just as devastating as the sharks actions.
so-so*May contain spoilers, kind of.
This book had good framework, but didn't deliver. The end was better than the first 200 pages where almost nothing happened, but the style of keeping the reader in the dark felt....annoying? She kept alluding to the fact that her dad would say creepy things to her, and that she slept in her closet out of fear of him, but the reader never finds out if it was just fear or an actual prior incident? Not to mention, ⬇️

pickYet another book that had been sitting on my shelf and judging me for a while, as I bought and read other books, but I did it! Did it take finding out there was going to be a movie to buckle down and read it? Yes. Overall, it kept me guessing, but it didn‘t grab my attention until almost 100 pages into it. Did I particularly like any of the characters? No. I don‘t know that I‘d read another book of hers, but this lil‘ thriller wasn‘t too shabby.
so-soQuick easy read but this was a carbon copy of The Next Mrs Parrish, I knew how the book would end on the very first page.
pick4✨ What an interesting mystery! We start by going three years in the past to learn a little bit about our victim, and then we meet our MC who is a TV producer looking into the murder from the Met Gala. Was it the fiancé, or maybe one of her family members? With no arrests our MC has a lot of digging to do. That ending was really suspenseful! ? Now I‘m going to need to read the rest of the series.
