Evil Sushi (Evil Sushi Book 1) by C.A. King – Review by Jess Dimmock

Evil Sushi by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Talk about a fun ride! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the characters; and I don’t even like fishing!
We start off in a world not to different from a possible future for ourselves in which food has become scarce and fish became a commodity that we over-exploited to the point where there are almost none left. When a commercial group comes through the small town of Treacle and uses explosives to “fish” they open up the ocean floor. Our Main characters Rod, a fisherman and tinker/genius, and Ned, old-school sea-dog fisherman. Head out to fish and use some of the technology that Rod has cobbled together to try and make a haul. Upon discovery of a fissure that the explosions opened up in the oceans floor, they manage to make a massive discovery and a catch. They bring their catch home to Ned’s place where his daughter and Rod’s love interest Sally also lives. The fish are something none of them have ever seen before and seem to be a miracle and the answer to their prayers.
Letting the potential money go to his head Ned lies and through some actions the fish get sold to a corporation who, of course, take the lot. The fish cause a potential pandemic, and of course there has to be a huge ancient evil from the depths to make this a true story. Add in the military, government, and corporations to the mix and you have yourself a nice mix to make sure you are screaming at your book that they could have solved this easily “If only they stopped being dumb!”.
You are really in for a great ride with some awesome characters. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
