Tyler Matthews is desperate for change. Sick of his life and plagued by alcoholism, he makes the decision to divorce his wife, sell everything he owns and travel the world to try and find focus and rid himself of his addiction. Eventually arriving on the sun drenched shores of Australia and still plagued by his demons, he has spent all his savings and is facing the prospect of having to return to his old life.
It is here that he meets two men with an outlandish story about a horde of sunken drug money in an area known as the Devil’s Triangle – Australia’s answer to its Bermuda namesake and said to be the lair of a terrifying monster of the deep. Offered a share of the fortune if he helps retrieve it, Tyler agrees to go with the men to the location, sceptical and thinking only of prolonging his journey of self discovery.
He will learn, however, that this particular urban legend is real, and they encounter a giant of the seas, the previously thought to be extinct Megalodon which makes its home within the area of the Devil’s triangle.
Barely escaping with their lives, the three men wash up on an isolated island – no more than a rocky outcrop with no vegetation, fresh water of food sources. As desperation to survive intensifies, horrifying decisions will be made that will illustrate how man is sometimes the most violent predator on earth and when left with no option will do anything, even the unthinkable, in order to survive.

FEED works in many ways because it is and isn’t a traditional monster story. Sure, we’ve got the Megladon that is very protective of its territory. But we’ve also got a cast of characters that are not in the least two-dimensional. Tyler, the main protagonist, has his flaws, but he’s also very human and real and because of that, he is relatable. As are the many other characters, even the ones that don’t last very long on “screen.” Nash would be another great character I liked reading, a very “Ahab” prototype, hell bent on revenge, even at the risk of his own son and Tyler. Survival and the lengths we’re willing to go to survive are strong motivators of the story, some of which play out in very grotesque ways. This highlights that FEED isn’t just a story about a shark gobbling up people, in fact, for most of it, there are other predators and demons one has to watch out for. My own personal phobia of the ocean no doubt played into my reaction to the story Michael Bray has cooked up for his readers, but it also says something of the quality of the writing, to be able to play on those phobias, the isolation, and claustrophobia, the unknown aspects of what’s really out there in the black depths of the water. FEED is definitely a read fans of horror will not want to miss.

I am OBSESSED with killer animal horror — although typically I watch movies. But I’ve decided to give the book genre a go. I’m impressed actually. This damn shark is RELENTLESS! It was a pretty good story. Very compelling and even believable (not the size of the shark but the situation). Bonus star for cannibalism. I would have watched this (if it were a movie) for sure!

Promising premise but too rushed
Feed is a quick read about a megaladon based in what is known as the Devil's triangle-Australia's answer to the Bermuda triangle.
A mix of The Meg and The Shallows there was nothing ground-breaking or super unique about this story. Featuring a cast of testosterone filled 'misfits' the characters felt rather lazy and cliche-the kind you find in see shark book. I do like the whole 'humans are the real monster's and how in the face of extreme adversity and a seemingly impossible to get out of situation people go crazy storylines however this one fell flat. Mostly due to it seeming very rushed, the setting I felt , and the small core cast of characters did the author no favours. It wasn't the worst book I've read by a long shot but not one I'd be rushing to recommend and I probably wouldn't read the authors other work based on this.

This was a cool action story with some brutal horror and psychological elements. If Jaws and Stephen King's short story "Survivor Type" were to have a baby, the result might be this book from Michael Bray.
January 30, 2019
Tyler is an alcoholic who has finally broken free of his dominating wife Amy and the life she chose for him and is bumming his way from place to place as his money runs out. Finding himself in Australia, a chance encounter with a couple of locals who want to look for legendary gold guarded by a giant shark, which others have gone missing searching for. Now the three men are on a mission to get the gold but the shark awaits them and a free dinner.
This was my first book by the author and it was a decent read. The MC Tyler has had a life run by his wife Amy, who got him a job with her brother that he didn't want, stopped him seeing his friends, then left him for another man. The book starts with Amy leaving the other man and trying to get Tyler to take her back and return to his job, but he is tired of her manipulations and wants to go travelling and enjoy himself until his money runs out. Two years later, he finds himself in Australia, enjoying the coastal resort of Devil's Island, drinking too much. It is here that he meets Scott and his brother Paul who are planning a dive for the gold.
Scott and his friend Karl heard the rumours about the gold and the shark that attacks anyone going for it. Scott does find a gold bar and decides not to tell Karl about it, instead telling his brother so they can claim all the gold for themselves. However, what they find instead is that the shark is real. Nash also has an encounter with the shark which he barely survives but nobody seems to believe his story. He decides to research and watch, waiting for evidence that the shark exists. He does find a gold bar in the water and realises that the legend is true. He and his son Liam decide to employ Tyler to help them get the gold despite the shark being there. Tyler is attracted by the payday but has no idea how badly planned this expedition is and what will happen to them.
I'm not a huge fan of alcoholic or drug addicted MCs in my books but Tyler was ok. Having being married to Amy you can understand why he has a drink problem. She is the manipulative bitch from hell and I'm so glad he didn't cave in to her and take her back. The secondary characters are ok, typical of the shark fodder that you get in these books but interesting enough for the plot. Of course I love the shark! There isn't a ton of action but there are a few good tense shark encounters. Things take a different turn when they get stranded on the island and it turns out that the shark is not the deadliest thing that Tyler needs to fear.
I can never resist getting my hands on a scary shark adventure and this is an author that I really wanted to try. I mean, look at that amazing cover! If that doesn't make you want to grab the book then nothing will! Megalodons fascinate me because of the pure size of the beasts and who knows what could be lurking in the depths of these deep underwater trenches? The thought of this thing in the water makes me want to stay away from islands and boats forever! I have plans to try other horror books by the author and see what they are like. Overall it was a decent shark story for megalodon fans.

The dive bars of Australia are filled with unlikely and unverified rumours. Rumours of an area where ships go mysteriously missing. Rumours of sunken wrecks and scattered bars of shining gold. Rumours – the most ridiculous and unbelievable of all, of a vast dark shape gliding through the water, territorial and shockingly violent.
Tyler Matthews is an alcoholic with an ex-wife and a rapidly shrinking bank account. A scarred stranger, met in yet another bar, offers him a chance at solving the third of those issues. All he has to do is retrieve a possibly-mythical fortune while avoiding an almost-certainly mythical prehistoric shark.
Feed is a story of treasure hunting, redemption, and man-eating marine fauna. It’s also a story about cannibalism, desperation, and exactly how far people will go to survive.
Michael Bray understands the key idea behind monster stories: they aren’t actually about the monster. Jaws is, as always, the best example of this, but any decent creature feature should focus on the characters and how they react to the monster. The monster is a force, a reality that the characters have to deal with – it’s not the antagonist.
And so Feed doesn’t focus too much on the monster. Obviously, as the cover suggests, it’s there; a giant shark absolutely features in the story. But it’s not the main idea. The shark is there to provide the catalyst for the real plot – it forces the characters into a situation that plays them off against each other. Mostly, Feed is about desperation – about how low people will sink and what they will contemplate when in seemingly hopeless situations.
The prose is strong enough to make that effective – descriptions of new lows and horrific acts are detailed and convincing. If you’re going to try and show the darkness of man’s heart, it helps to write well enough to pull it off; cannibalism, for example, needs to be both repulsive and compelling.
My biggest issue with this book was that it felt, in places, a little rushed. Mental states and situations deteriorate too fast, sometimes leading to supposedly desperate characters not trying obvious solutions because the plot demands that they move onto the stage of their decline. There’s a lot going on in the story, but it’s a short book – several scenes/sections could have done with more elaboration and a greater build-up.
All in all, Feed is a well-written addition to the “prehistoric shark attacks everyone” genre, and one with rather more depth and thematic coherence than the norm. If you want a non-stop action extravaganza, this isn’t it – pick one of the many other books with a similar cover. If you want something a little more thoughtful and character-driven, but still with sea monsters in, this is a good pick.

Tyler Matthews, an addict, divorces his wife, sells his belongings and travels the globe. After spending all his savings, he comes across an opportunity to make some money by retrieving sunken drug money in the Devil’s Triangle, Australia. Tempted by the cover, I had to give this one a go and Wowsers!, am I glad I did! Bray weaves a survival story that kept me gasping for breath til the end. An exciting, terrifying, and tense deep sea read! Definitely not the average shark survival tale.

Now That's No Fish Tale
When a horribly disfigured man tells you about a Godzilla sized shark, you might want to take his word for it. Treasure seekers ignore the story and let's just say it doesn't end well if you enter it's claimed territory.

Great shark story!
Feed certainly isn't your standard shark story, in such a short time Bray has created a mythology around its Megalodon. There's elements of Meg and The Shallows but this is very fun read.

Interesting short story about mega shark and survival.
The story line was written quite well, although I found quite a few typos. Such as "down" instead of "drown". Not sure if there is a way of reporting these.
Characters are interesting and not the usual heros.

I enjoyed this story but there were a few editing issues that made reading it awkward at times. The premise was sound and the horror felt real but some of the twists were a little predictable. Not one of Mr Bray's best but ok. If you want to read Bray then look at the Whisper trilogy.

Amazing, vivid, believable and incredible. A short read, but exceptional nonetheless. Like another reviewer says it feels like you are with them

I quite enjoyed what I managed to read.
The e-book version was removed from my Kindle after my free trial came to an end.
Consequently, I never got to finish it!

Amazing.
This was a real page turner. The ending was a bit rushed, but the message was cleared. You just can't come out of situation thinking you are going to be the same.

Interesting book
I enjoyed the book but there are some gruesome areas in later chapters ( I'm not going to give anything away ). It does need some editing.

Good book with some intense scenes and nice shark attack moments, but it feels very short. Could have been longer.

Wow the epilogue was definitely my favorite part of this novella, it did an excellent job wrapping up the story.
𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐝 unquestionably wasn’t the story I expected going into a shark horror novella. Solely based on the cover and the title I was hoping for more gore and thrill but all I got was disappointment. By any means this wasn’t a bad book, for what it was, it was a great read. A book about a Megalodon and surviving after meeting with the shark, being on a tiny island with nothing on it. It was a very slow paced story though, while it had some more brutal aspects like cannibalism it wasn’t the type of book I was looking for.
With that being said if you’re looking for a story of a Megalodon, treasures and a survival story then you might enjoy this one.

I couldn't put this book down. I'm fast becoming a fan of Michael Bray. I like how he stressed in this book that the ocean is an "alien world" to us we are mere visitors in a territory that's not ours to invade. Be it our own risk if we choose to visit this world. Michael Bray is a brilliant writer and i will certainly be seeking out more of his novels.

Readable shark tale
May 3, 2017
This was a fun read, but the technical misses were so blatant, it took away from the story.
For instance, the characters in this book dived, with only an oxygen tank, to the bottom of the Devil's Triangle, which was described as pitch black. First, humans can't dive much deeper than 400 feet. At that level, the sea would still be light. The ocean isn't truly black until 1000 meters (which is nearly 3300 feet). Second, there is no way they could go much deeper than 400 feet without some sort of submersible. The pressure would be too great. Finally, these characters just swim to the top with no rests to stabilize pressures. Doing this, they'd definitely get the bends. None of these things are feasible and you'd think an author writing about this type of thing would do the 2 minute research it requires to get it right. Not doing appropriate research can destroy a story.
I also noticed some very obvious descriptions of the shark, which appeared to be taken directly from the king of megalodon books, Steve Alten.
The editing is terrible. I saw the word 'passed' used when it should have been 'past,' the word 'downed' when it should have been 'drowned,' and other obvious errors.
Overall, despite the great concept, there are just too many holes in this story to make it remotely plausible.
