GOODREADS BLURB
“Hybrid Animals and Humans Collide…Could very well be a sequel to The Island of Doctor Moreau.”
Pack your bags for the wild side and hang on tight. Escape into an exotic untamed world in this sci-fi adventure that has been called a cross between Gladiator, Planet of the Apes and The Hunger Games.
In Las Vegas, Shaw, billionaire casino magnate and self proclaimed world’s greatest showman, nears completion on the massive Serengeti Resort & Casino. Its amphitheater is being transformed into an authentic slice of African savanna for the show Predators and Prey which will savagely pit animal against animal in the bloodiest gladiatorial spectacle ever created for human entertainment. The only thing missing is the main attraction – which Shaw soon finds in Shark, the world’s only Great White Half Man Half Shark Hybrid to be exact.
Shaw envisions the show’s tagline as “Come One – Come All To See – The Only Great White Shark In Captivity” but soon learns that capturing the world’s top predator and delivering him to Vegas is easier said than done. This daunting task will require the cruel tactics of the evil animal slave trading hyena, Old Jack. The heartbreaking plans they devise and innocent pawns they use to try to coerce Sharks allegiance will force all to rely on primitive instincts to survive.
Oh man, I wish this one would have caught my eye for Shark Week. LOL Anywhooo, just read the title and blurb and you’ll know why I had to have this. I added it to my TBR on 5.13.12. It has an average of 3.34 on Goodreads.

I can see why you added this to your TBR. I’m intrigued! I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
i hope i do too. i’ll probably try and get to it over the holidays later this year. i binge read a lot, but don’t always write reviews for those books, though i do rate them on goodreads.
