What starts out as a fun outing of fishing and snorkeling turns into a nightmare when a group of family and friends are forced to sail into a dead zone to avoid an oncoming storm. It wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the thousands of unnatural glowing jellyfish awaiting them.

This was a fun and easy read. Short, sweet, gets straight to the point, and is downright horrific when it comes to the jellies. I made the mistake of eating while reading what happens when you get stung by these monstrosities, its safe to say I lost my appetite shortly after.

It's nothing too special compared to similar stories, but it does scratch that itch (pun intended, you'll know what I mean once you read the book) when you're in the mood for some nautical, monster fun.
