Lies Over the Ocean by Martha Lane

My rating: 4/5

I read this in one sitting! This is what novellas-in-flash are all about: a story told in snapshots with more of a punch as we read each flash. It’s set in a dystopian future where Britain has become tropical and a hotspot for sharks. Research facilities are trying to stop the frequent shark attacks – but what are they hiding? Ominous from page one, atmospheric, but full of personal warmth and real-feeling characters, we root for main character Thea as she grapples with her own personal losses against this shark-infested backdrop.
