Red Swarm
by Jamie Hutchison
Genre: Horror
My Review
Feast your eyes on the thrilling cover art. I love stories about unstoppable creatures and insurmountable odds. A fellow book lover liked this one so how could I resist it.
I read this about eight months ago and I somehow missed sharing a review. It shows how much fun I had reading it that I still recall things so well. Divers from the Royal Navy come under attack by a swarm of eel like creatures during a diving test. An investigation reveals the creatures were genetically modified to become a new food source and escaped during a storm. Now they are loose, looking for food and they like the taste of human flesh.
The action and suspense starts right out of the gate. The creatures are growing in size, appetite and intelligence. And they’re expanding their hunting grounds to dry land. With deadly creature stories, I’m all about the attacks. I want a lot of them. And this book is chock full of some really harrowing ones. As the creatures expand their hunting grounds, the US joins with the Royal Navy. It was wild to see how closely the creatures coordinated attacks resembled those of the military trying to combat them. And some of the battles were super gory as both sides tried to destroy the other.
I was able to check off all of the boxes for what I want in a creature horror book with Red Swarm. Awesome sea monsters, courageous and genuine characters and edge of your seat suspense and action. I’ve already grabbed the next book, Black Spawn, and anticipate another thrilling read.

Indeed remembering all the details 8 months later is proof that you really liked it Laura!
Yep, it came right back to me. I can’t wait to start on the next book.
This sounds so good! And I know what you mean, that cover really grabs you 😁
Makes you glad you’re on dry land, away from the coast too!
It’s great that you can still recall so much. That’s a true sign you enjoyed it so much. The cover looks like a gigantic sea snake to me!
It all came rushing back! And that snake/eel thing really is terrifying:)
This has such a cool concept and that cover is fantastic! I hope that you enjoy the next book just as much.
I hope I do too!
Delicious!

Yep. You’d like this one, Sherry:)
I’ve enjoyed both books in this series even though they are so different! The second book is a terrorism investigation mixed in with a horrible bug thing. Yeuch. I look forward to book three!
I noticed the second was along a different line and I’m curious where the author takes his character.
