Sink: Once Upon A Time
A sinkhole is a natural phenomenon. It can happen anywhere, anytime. It drinks lakes dry, consumes jungles, and even demolishes entire mountains. You may have seen one in your street. But these things aren’t lost. They’ve simply been moved. Things are forgotten on the surface all the time. Beneath the crust, they’re always remembered.
A monster terrorizes a medieval town. The townspeople are being murdered. Dead bodies rise from hell. One member of town is responsible for it all. But who?
SINK. A forgotten world. A lost world. But not for long.

now i am hooked. This was such a great, easy and creative book. i was hooked after the first page.
The characters were easy to fall in love with and follow, along with the story. the author made the mental visions so easy and vivid of the surroundings and the characters actions felt so real.
i would highly recommend this author and this book.

I received an ARC to give an honest review.
Now the family finds themselves in another part of this mysterious world via the passage they went through. They come across a monster that is determined to eat them, and a town that is from the world above. The town hasn't changed too much since when it was sucked down but there are new things happening within the town. We learn there is an inventor living within the town which the family is curious about. It seems this inventor has a unique way of coming up with ideas.
Now the family is determined to find the passage that they know is within this world, though the royal family has no clue where it is. Brian and his family decide to help rid this town of this monster that terrorizes them only what seems to happen is one a huge secret comes to light and second there is a lot of action involved. The cloak figure shows up yet again and still is a mystery on who this is person is. I have a feeling I might know who it is, but I am sure I am far from being right.
From the beginning of the book you pulled in. The way the author describes the lake to what is in the cave you are left wondering will the family's luck finally run out. I will love how all the passages connect in some way and the characters are well written.
If you haven't been reading this series I highly suggest you do it now. Not only are the covers AMAZING but the story line is pretty darn good!

Sink once upon a time by perrin briar is a fantasy read.
A sinkhole is a natural phenomenon. It can happen anywhere, anytime. It drinks lakes dry, consumes jungles, and even demolishes entire mountains. You may have seen one in your street. But these things aren’t lost. They’ve simply been moved. Things are forgotten on the surface all the time. Beneath the crust, they’re always remembered.
SINK. A forgotten world. A lost world. But not for long.
This was an absolutely fantastic read with brilliant characters. Full of twists. I loved the family. Cassie Aaron Bryan and Zoe. They were my favourite characters. And wow I didn’t see that coming. Can't wait for next part. This is a must read and I would highly recommend this book. Definitely worth more than 5*. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book from perrin himself.

Another successful book in Briar's 'Sink' series. I'm really enjoying these books.
There's no messing around with the writing, it's straight in there, straight to the action. The 'edge of the seat, what are they going to do now? aaaahhh, oh my god, with your heart in your mouth' type of stuff. Loved it! Loved the short, choppy chapters that mirrored the events happening on the pages leading up to the climax.
The reader knows the family very well by now, and cares about what happens to them. The new characters are full (very full!), and totally believable. Typical Briar, this world is visually striking, the story engrossing, exciting and 'un-put-down-able'. The writing just gets better and better. Can't wait for the next one.
