For all the fans of sharks (like in Jaws), dinosaurs (like in Jurassic Park), dolphins, intrigue, danger and adventure, I think you will love diving into the Order of the Dolphin series and Killing Dragons by Kristie Clark. As soon as I saw the cover, I had to grab it. No doubt in my mind, I had to have it. I had a bad feeling in the opening pages and I have my fingers crossed that I m not right about Lars. Eva is the sole supporter for her family, so the grant for her dolphin research is vital. Wouldn’t it be cool, if not talk to dolphins as humans, but still be able to communicate by building a vocabulary? A human body bit in half, a fin cut from a dolphin found on the beach…Eva would have to investigate the legend of the Lusea, a sea dragon. A monster. A fish farm. Greed. Drugs. Need I say more? Kristen Clark did a great job of pumping up a familiar tale with stories within the story, keeping it fresh and exciting. The pacing and intrigue kept me flipping pages. With all the doom and gloom, we do have some chuckles. Some romance. The complete package. Her research makes the blend of fact and fiction difficult to tell where one stops and the other starts. Some parts are very familiar and play out like a B movie, but that is just fine with me. The story could end here, but I am sooooo glad it doesn’t. I can hardly wait to read more. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Killing Dragons by Kristen Clark. See more at http:://www.fundinmental.com näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Without funding, her dolphins will soon be turned loose in the deadly Caribbean.
"A cartel leader makes Eva an offer she can't refuse. He'll fund her dolphin research if she'll help him capture the sea dragon. His aid comes with a catch, and he doesn't count the cost.
"Then geneticist Thomas Sternberg arrives on sabbatical to lead a dive school. He wants to help Eva, but they share a tragic past. While on his watch as a Navy Seal, Eva's brother was killed, and her dolphin was wounded. Eva doesn't trust Thomas, but can she set that aside to work with him to stop the sea dragon and save her dolphins? Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

By Kristie Clark
I enjoyed this book, it was similar to reading a type of Jaws book only with a prehistoric creature! The characters were interesting too! A gal that works with dolphins (my dream job), and a guy that had helped her before but now is a doctor working with children with cancer. They may have had a thing in the past before he left South America to go back to the states.
The book has exciting action, suspense, irritating people that protest against dolphins being held, big Corp trying to make hybrid giant animals for profit, and pirates. The majority of the book was just good reading when you want to relax and enjoy a giant monster story but a couple of small parts dealing with personal interactions seemed unrealistic. Lol, yeah, I know! Like the giant prehistoric creature was realistic? Well, some things I can suspend my beliefs for and some I can't! Overall, pretty good!
Narration was good too. ( )
