Floaters by Kelli Owen is an original tale that dives right in and totally captivates the reader from the very first page and doesn't let up until the very last! From the amazing characters to the terrifying creature, and even the spooky setting, this tale had it all!

I had SO much fun reading this creature feature and police procedural mash-up!

This tale dives right in on page one when the main character, Detective Carly Greene, was called to the scene of the first two floaters. The town on Lake Superior is used to the lake claiming many victims and “floater” is the term given to bodies that wash up on shore.

From that initial discovery, more and more floaters appear. But where are they coming from? Why are they suddenly washing up on shore? And what else is out there, living in the river, claiming more lives?

My goodness. I went into this one pretty dark, only knowing that there was some type of creature involved…and what a creature it was! Let me tell you, I didn’t swim in rivers or lakes before now, and I certainly won’t seek out those water spots after reading this. No thank you!

This story was high-paced, wonderfully organized, and wicked engaging. I loved each of the characters so much and wanted to seem them all make it out of this crazy situation alive.

My Favorite Passages
That was the day Carly learned Lake Superior was just as capable of giving as she was of taking. That was the first time, Carly had heard the term “floater” in reference to the dead occasionally coughed up from the depths of the great lake.

Carly felt the twinges of disbelief crawling at the base of her skull like a blossoming headache.

Myths are shared. Real monsters are key secret.

My Final Thoughts
This is definitely one of my new favorite creature-features! It gave me SUCH a bad book hangover!!

You have got to check this one out if you enjoy tales with amazing characters, a very captivating storyline, and a bit of violence! This one certainly isn’t for the squeamish!
