Viktoria

by L.J. Fox

A female prehistoric creature is discovered on a remote island in South America and taken into captivity for research. She had killed an Australian backpacker and skeletal remains suggest she had killed humans before. Escaping from captivity, she journeys across the United States seeking her homeland and her own kind.

Viktoria tells the story of how the creature became stranded on the island and her fight to survive, the woman left widowed by Viktoria, and the scientist dedicated to looking for her.

'I am from Australia and consider myself a story-teller. My primary writing goal is to entertain you, to keep you turning those pages not anticipating what will come next, not to mention - the story must involve something a little morbid or downright weird.
If you found the stories easy to read, fast-paced, interesting, enjoyable and little bit quirky then my work is done.'

[Jesse · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so enthralled with Viktoria that I read the entire novel in two sittings. Each chapter brought a new surprise and the entire story was full of mystery; keeping me guessing right up until the end. It's hard to review without giving too much away, but I thoroughly enjoyed following along with the journey of each character and, in particular, unveiling the driving motivations behind the creature of which this novel is so aptly named.
