Publisher's summary

Harrison Harrison - H2 to his mom - is a lonely teenager who's been terrified of the water ever since he was a toddler in California, when a huge sea creature capsized their boat, and his father vanished. One of the "sensitives" who are attuned to the supernatural world, Harrison, along with his mother , has just moved to the worst possible place for a boy like him: Dunnsmouth, a Lovecraftian town perched on rocks above the Atlantic, where strange things go on by night, monsters lurk under the waves, and creepy teachers run the local high school.

On Harrison's first day at school, his mother, a marine biologist, disappears at sea. Harrison must attempt to solve the mystery of her accident, which puts him in conflict with a strange church, a knife-wielding killer, and the Deep Ones--fish-human hybrids that live in the bay. It will take all his resources and an unusual host of allies to defeat the danger and find his mother.

The premise sounded so interesting...

This is definitely a young adult book - I'm not sure I'd even call it young adult - it's actually geared toward early tweens. The description sounded intriguing and if it had been handled better, it could have been a great mystery. Things were weird from the beginning, though. A slower discovery of the peculiarities of the town and less scooby doo style monsters would have made for a much better book. Look, I like YA scifi/fantasy novels, but this was just to juvenile for my taste. Far more juvenile than the description suggests, so beware.

A Great Start to a New Series

I found Daryl Gregory from his other works-Pandemonium, The Devil's Alphabet, and Afterparty. I was reminded of Phillip K. Dick in his other books, so I was surprised when I found this one, which seems to be a tribute to HP Lovecraft, another of my favorite authors. There have been a billion new books based in Lovecraft's world, but few do it justice. This book has just enough real world feel for it to work. Also, Luke Daniels reads as a Brazilian scientist mother-that's worth it right there. This is good, light-hearted horror, and nothing that will keep you up at night. More of a "Scoobie Doo" than Night Gallery.

Great voice for a Deep One

This was for a younger audience but enjoyable. Excellent voice for a young Deep One.

Pleasant Surprise

It started out a bit slow, but after a while it got so engrossing that I couldn't stop listening. I just had to know what happened next. And the ending was not at all what I expected. Definitely worth reading/listening to!

Fish people

A strange new home for a high school student with prosthetic legs. Standoffish students who act like they are in a cult. Fish people that can live on land or in water.

Yeah, there are some strange characters in this book. It may seem slow going at a few points or take you a bit to get into the story, but stick with it, it's worth getting through to the action packed conclusion

I really enjoyed this "YA" story.

I would definately buy or root for a sequel. It had a great story and well defined characters. And Luke Daniels never dissapoints with his narration.
