With a name like Evil Sushi, I wasn’t sure exactly what I was getting myself into when I started reading this book, but I was wonderfully surprised to discover this thrilling tale was just what the title suggested: something terrifying yet playful. When reading this book, I discovered that this book touches on a lot of different things that I was thinking about over the last few years. I’m sure we’ve all thought about the effect our choice in diet has on the environment, even in passing, and that’s why this tale gave me chills. The classic horror nowadays centers around the impossible: zombies. But what if that terror came from the sea? What if our future looked just a little more like the apocalypse with sea life? Just a little on the joking side, but wonderfully serious at the same time, this book will have you gripping the edge of your seat and expectantly waiting for the next in the series!… (mais)

Oh my goodness, this is book 2 of the Evil Sushi series. Sashimi is a wicked evil mermaid type monster and Aileen is out for revenge. It's hard to to keep up with who's more trouble-General Talbot (idiot military) or the Evil Sushi (creeping ocean and more). Aileen, Rod and Ned are facing challenge after challenge. Susy is part of that challenge. They do their best to come up with ways to stop it but it seems their is some evolution going on? Man, I'm loving this story. Aileen is already pissed because Sashimi snacked on her brother Charlie and left him all but dead. Aileen is pretty badass and strong. She's going to get through this. She has one more brother to protect. She find's out Susy is being naughty and calls her out. Go, Aileen! Rod deserves better. The writing is such that you root for these guys while hoping the worthless military that is left get eaten. The characters are great. Ned is your average older man just trying to make a living and now disappointed in his kid. Aren't most of us? The plot flows smooth for going back and forth a bit. The theme throughout the story is conservation and I love how the author took that and ran with it. That ocean life fight back. I can't wait for book 3 in the series. This book also has a creepiness factor because it just might make me not want to put my feet in the ocean. It's a really good book and I recommend it. So good and so creepy at times. It will make you think about things.… (mais)
