Origin: Lake Ness - Beneath The Facade

Lake Ness #5

by Cherie Mitchell

Secrets, lies, and misunderstandings - after 65 million years, has it all come down to this? Gerry is determined to cross the treacherous waters of Lake Origin and continue his hunt for the remaining Mosasaurs, a group of aquatic dinosaurs that have captured his scientific heart. His reputation, his credibility, and his future career rest on the outcome of this venture, and he is committed to the idea that this is a chance to not only rescue his dreams but also prove to himself that for once he can finish what he has started. However, he should have known by now that smooth sailing doesn't feature in his life's vocabulary. An unexpected twist that he didn't see coming, more unraveling untruths, a surprise reconciliation, and a final showdown with Old Bozzie await him. Can Gerry overcome all his growing challenges and finally reach the calmer waters that lay beneath the crumbling facade of Montworth? The Lake Ness series is a compelling mash-up between Jurassic Park and Jaws

[Teresa · Rating 1 out of 5]

Originally, I was told that this was going to be a three part book, then a five part series.

Book 1 wasn’t bad but had no ending, book two was okay, book three was useless, book 4 as inane and book 5 was SHIT.

This is the final book in the series (although it was originally supposed to be 3 books and that changed to 5

This was a stupid book

In the last two books characters who have been in every book, and found to be liars, tried to kill the hero and the girl

In this book they make up, because they only wanted to kill him because they thought he was a pedophile, with no evidence, proof or even hint of that

And the ending was so stupid.
The pedophiles, who you never heard of once in the whole series, get a helicopter to drop all their computers into the lake and the drop vats of acid in - also by helicopter to melt them

They don’t melt but it kills all the dinosaurs in all the lakes, streams, caverns, tunnels, caves. Etc. Within minutes

F*** me, What a waste of time this series was!

Fantastic series

I have to admit, I had reservations about the series when I began reading it. The first and second book kind of dragged out and the characters weren’t very likable nor were they well developed. However the last 3 books were a great improvement. Now I look forward to the next series which will include the main character from this series.
