Devil Dragon by Deborah Sheldon
3.0
****I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway!****
This book was so much fun to read. I haven't read many cryptid-based horror books, though I am deeply creeped out and fascinated by the idea of these creatures being out there and us not knowing.
I really enjoyed the characters here, especially Dr. Harris. I love when professionals get so consumed with their expeditions that you just know there's going to be horrible decisions made and excellent horror will ensue. It's one of the main reasons Stephen King's miniseries Rose Red is my absolute favorite work of his. Professional acceptance and glory is a very powerful and relatable drive that helps make the entire thing more believable, as opposed to your normal slasher horror where the victims are just plain stupid. Of course they will make bad decisions, they are consumed by the need to be proven right, which makes them look even more crazy.
Definitely interested in reading more by this author and so happy I got the chance to read this.
