The Review:
Another thrilling horror that is similar to a crash course in marine biology and discusses the legend of mermaids and mermen in detail, but with a twist: these mermaids and mermen are not the kind of mermaids and mermen readers are used to reading about in children's books or romance novels.
I was actually surprised by the amount of detailed research done by Jeremy Bates for all of his books, as well as the knowledge I gained from reading them. Yes, not all readers will enjoy the book, as with the others in the series, but I enjoyed it and the others because of the slow burn and the information I gained from them.
Despite the fact that I am not a fan of mermaid stories, I decided to read this book because I had already read the previous three books in the series, and even though these books are all stand alone, I read them all and was not disappointed, except for the short length and rushed ending of this book.
Unlike previous books in the series, this one made me turn page after page until I was finished, and then I realized it was already morning and I was still in my bed, as I always do when reading books. Fortunately, I don't have to go to the office because my job consists solely of reading, writing, and reviewing books, as well as a few other projects. Essentially, I am my own boss.
This book is not as large as the books I usually read, but it was a fast paced read even with its slow paced information sessions, which are not bad and boring if you are interested in learning about these legends.
It has some intriguing plot twists and turns, but one thing bothered me: I felt the ending was rushed, and I wanted more, a lot more because I believe this book needed at least a hundred more pages after the vast amount of information it provided.
It can be totally boring or one of the most exciting books to a reader but it depends on what is the taste and thinking of the person who is reading. And I think that is the simplest way to explain this book. For me, it was a blast and a great read but just because I am into this kind of stuff. I am recommending it but with fewer points than it actually deserves so, I can justify this to the nonfans and action oriented readers.
Readers who are afraid of water because they have seen or read Peter Benchley's Jaws should not read this book while at the beach or if they intend to go to the beach. Even though it is not particularly frightening, it may frighten the readers mentioned in this paragraph.
The author has his own distinct style, which his fans adore. I am saddened at times to see fake reviews of his books, and I know who is to blame, but I don't want to say who because I believe everyone who reads these books can figure it out. Furthermore, readers who are clearly action oriented and dislike the slow burn or too much education in a subject of the book in hand are the ones who give it low ratings, which is fine, but fake reviews are not.
