Catalina Creature: A Monster Horror Novel
Catalina Island has often been linked to mysteries. Mysterious deaths, legends of a race of giant Indians, sightings of UFO’s (Unidentified Flying Objects) and USO’s (Unidentified Submerged Objects) have been reported for many years. The island is located approximately twenty-six miles from the mainland, across the San Pedro Channel. The channel is deep—very deep—and recently it was discovered it had been used since a time at the end of World War Two as a dumping ground for toxic substances… possibly even nuclear waste.
When Max Mathews and Doctors Bernie and Laurie Samuels arrive on the island to do research on the chemical dumping, they find the island is experiencing a problem… fishermen and their boats have gone missing. Soon after, tourists are being killed and eaten on a regular basis by an unknown creature with bright green eyes dubbed by the media as “The Catalina Creature.”
What is it? Where did it come from? Who knew it was out there? How do they get rid of it? All questions Max and his crew will have to find answers to.

Review of this book.
This was an excellent book. The story moved along at a fast clip. The ending was earth shattering. I cannot wait to read another book by this author! He has done his research and it shows in the continuity of the story. I feel like there might possibly be a sequel to this book. I hope so, because it will be really interesting. The story makes the reader stop and think about the far reaching effects of pollution in our oceans, and other bodies of water. I cannot wait to see what other books he has written. I plan to read them all!

Interesting creature, great book
A quick read but a good one. The creature brought lots of action and intrigue to the storyline and I was quickly drawn in. The characters were very real and kept my interest going. I love this type of book and I loved this one.

Good Read
Very good story line. The characters were believable and held your interest. The book was really great, wish there was a part 2. I like stories like this. Hope there’s more to come.

needs editing
This definitely a fun story, but it seriously needs editing. It is very choppy and in some parts very disjointed in the story line. This is why I only gave 3 stars.

A very easy, quick read if you want a bit of a creature feature that’s not a shark, with a side of romance. A little gore and likeable characters.

Could have been so much more
Great concept but writing was very juvenile. Enjoyed the concept of the new creature but poor execution. Hoping for improvement in the future.

It was an interesting book, but not very original or exciting.

A good monster book that can be read in an hour. Fun monster and cool idea. Unfortunately it is so short that there isn't enough to really take a bite out of.
