Publisher's Summary
There are new residents in the Long Island Sound… and they have a taste for flesh. The first time the creatures tasted human blood, their savagery went undetected. Thus begins Mount Misery, a terrific horror tale by writer Angelo Peluso. Located on the Long Island Sound, random attacks by unknown creatures are terrorizing local residents. The question: Who is going to do something about it? Marine biologist Katie DiNardo and ichthyologist Nick Tanner have seen the damage caused by their mystery creatures, but are at a complete loss as to the attacking species. All they know is that they need to get to the bottom of this - and fast. While they continue to do their research, people are dropping like flies, and if they don’t figure out what’s going on, there’s no saying what this destructive species will do next.
In a similar style to Jaws, Mount Misery is a spectacular suspense novel that grips you from the first page and doesn’t let its teeth out! Fans of horror will rejoice with Mount Misery, and listeners will enjoy the throwback style that made this genre what it is today.

Jaws Rip-off
Unique mix-up of story and encyclopaedia. Bit of fun though. Periods of pretty good tension.

Jaws on steroids
Got a bit long winded with the technical and biological explanations and had all the fishy’s stories.

I’m struggling
I am struggling to finish this.
The narrator sounds too robotic and that makes it hard to connect to the story

Strangely technical Jaws-alike
I found both the story and narration robotic, as if they were written and delivered by unsophisticated A.I.
Mixed metaphors, bad grammar and writing, and narration that I kept making excuses for only added to its infuriating nature.
It was readable enough on the whole (that got me through to the end, you see), but it got bogged down in chunks of unnecessary plot detail and a few silly sex scenes that were mercifully short.
The ending was abrupt and felt like it was an idea that had either been envisaged from the beginning and tacked on regardless of plot, or developed because the author couldn't figure out how else to complete the story. In that unfortunate sense it was definitely a surprise ending.

It ain’t no Jaws
Ponderously slow at times, a lot of fat that could’ve been trimmed. Some really clunky dialogue and characters behaving inconsistently and incredibly stupidly.
