KnitAFett reviewed Meg: Hell's Aquarium by Steve Alten (Meg, #4)
Definite step up from the previous two books.
4 stars
This series is about as B movie as you can get, and I LOVE it. This series has just been an entirely guilty read that gives enough tension and gore to keep things trucking along. And that's saying a bit since in this one, Megs are not the only prehistoric beasts to be haunting the deep seas. We're talking magical Liopleurodons, Charlie!
You cannot take these books seriously at all. Alten does a good job of trying to fluff up some science terms and all to make it sound more plausible, but you really have to suspend reality to actually enjoy these. If that's not something you find fun when reading, then this series should legitimately be a hard pass for you.
There's 3 more books in the series and then the prequel, so I'm going to be trying to finish out all of them before the end of 2025. …
