This was a suggested read for Norns Book Club. I haven’t taken part in one for a while. At 181 pages, if I hated it, I could probably still finish it. I didn’t hate it, but neither did I love it, even though I raced through it within a couple of days.
From the beginning the adrenaline level kicked in, and runs at pace of any dinosaur. It’s chilling, gory, violent, and terrifying. I couldn’t put it down, I just had to see what happened next. It’s a well written, with realistic characters.
Except, I prefer to have at least one I like and can root for. None of five were very endearing. Each one was heavily flawed.
Cretaceous Canyon is not the type of book I would generally read. I can’t pronounce the title, and assumed by the cover, that it was satirical or humorous. In fact it was far from it.
Overall, the storyline was exciting and the author knew her dinosaurs. The five main protagonists were an interesting bunch who didn’t like each other much. The race for survival is an understatement, it was terrifying in parts where your own nightmares are brought to the fore. I recommend it if you like your reads to be fast-paced and bumpy. Read it if you dare.

I enjoyed reading this. It was a great adventure, living up to the thriller tag. However, I agree with you and Sahara that the characters were not endearing. The ones I had hope in found ways to disappoint, as did the ending. There were many questions I wanted to have answered, but I felt the book was ended too soon.

Yes, it certainly left us wanting, but not for the right reasons.

I have to agree. The one I liked from the beginning was killed right away. LOL. Still haven’t finished, but will this week.
