Review
The Great War may be over, but brilliant scientist Billie McKennan continues the fight to be taken seriously. When a deliberate omission wins her a marine biologist position aboard an expedition funded by a wealthy eccentric, she quickly discovers she’s not the only one keeping secrets.
I do not have a lot of luck with this author. But I decided to give her another try. I am glad I did! This book may be strange but it is a good one.
This story definitely takes you on a wild ride. I mean…is it a monster, is it a ghost or is it something completely different?? And Billie, I really liked her. She is in one heck of a situation and she keeps her wits about her for most of it. And believe me when I tell you, I would have lost it!
Karen Peakes is the narrator. I enjoy her work. And she did a very good job with this one!
Need a strange tale to get through your day…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
