Dead Reef: Blood Tide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798292661207)

Marine biologist Kate Morrison came to Dead Reef to study coral formations. She found something studying her instead.
The local fishermen have stories about the blood tides-when the water runs red and boats don't come back. Kate thought they were just superstitions until the attacks began. Something massive is rising from the deepest trenches around the reef, something that's been evolving in isolation for over a century.
It's not just hunting. It's learning.
Each attack brings the creature closer to understanding human behavior, human technology, and human fear. The ancient chains that have kept it trapped in the deep are weakening, and Kate realizes that humanity has never faced a predator like this-one that grows stronger and smarter with every kill.
When the next blood tide rises, Kate and a desperate group of survivors must venture into the creature's domain to destroy it. But in the crushing depths around Dead Reef, they'll discover that evolution doesn't just create monsters.
Sometimes it creates something worse.
A pulse-pounding creature feature that will make you think twice about what lurks beneath the waves.
