leahrosereads 's review for:

They Came From The Ocean by Boris Bačić
2.75
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There were some interesting creature feature moments but lackluster characters and some misogynistic writing made this a little underwhelming to me.  The setting was so strong, and several times the claustrophobia caused me to shiver! I'll give another book a go by the author, but he may just not be the storyteller for me.
