Waiting on Wednesday 02/21/18
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

Devil Sharks by Chris Jameson (June 26, 2018 by St. Martin’s Press)
Last year, I had SO. MUCH. FUN with Chris Jameson’s Shark Island. It was everything I wanted in a shark book – a mix of horror, violence and gory shark action balanced with a great story and well-rounded, diverse characters. Imagine my excitement when I found out about Devil Sharks! It appears it’ll be a whole new story unrelated to Shark Island, but as long as there are rampaging sharks, I’m happy.
“A pleasure cruise in Paradise leads to a group of friends to a shark-infested Hell…
When Alex Simmons is invited to a college reunion in the Hawaiian Islands aboard the private yacht of his old pal Harry Curtis, he is not sure what to expect. The two men had a falling-out years ago over the suicide of one of their friends. Could this be Harry’s way of making amends? Or is something more sinister in store?
The crew sets sail and arrives at Orchid Atoll, the site of a deserted former Coast Guard station. But they are far from alone. Out here, three hundred miles from civilization, Alex and his friends are about to encounter two very different brands of evil–one human, the other with fins–unlike anything they could have possibly imagined. They have entered a place where there’s no law, no mercy… and no way out.”

Yes, while the story appears unrelated to Shark Island, I hope it’ll have all the same horror and thriller elements 😀

OOh creepy!! Sharks have scared me ever since I saw Jaws as a kid! Ironically, I still love that movie. Other shark movies not so much. Too computerized! I did read Jaws eventually as well, I was “too young” for awhile according to my mom. After reading it I kind of understood why! Lol!
Will have to keep an eye on this one though! Been ages since I read a shark book!
Here’s my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

I’m the same way! Terrified of Jaws when I saw it as a kid, but now I love the it! I rewatch it all the time. And yes, the book was definitely nothing like the movie, lol!

I’m so thrilled to already have a copy of this one. I love shark stuff – especially in the summer and around Memorial Day (for some reason – maybe because that’s when they show all the Jaws movies on TV). Thanks for clearing up my question as to if this is a sequel. I had wondered but hadn’t checked yet.

Yep, this would make the perfect summer read. Probably not at the beach though 😀

Oh cool! Also, I love series that aren’t really series. Meaning I could read this without reading the first one.

Can’t go wrong with killer sharks – both books sound awesome. I will have to check them out.

Since my first glimpse of “Jaws” I cannot look at a fin protruding from the water without feeling a cold chill down my spine… Have fun with those sharks, and watch out for the TEETH!!! 😀 😀

This is new to me! I feel like sharks are very misunderstood, mostly because of Jaws. 😐 Anyway I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it, Mogsy!
Have a great week. =)
