Speculative Fiction Worth Reading: The Paleontologist #BookReview #suspense #thriller #booklovers #bookrecommendations
The Paleontologist by Luke Dumas called to me like a siren… Dinosaurs. Can… not… re… sist.
The novel boasts a fun and engaging plot with dinosaurs running amok in a museum—yes, you read that right. This is just one of the intriguing mysteries in this fast-paced story. The other revolves around Simon, whose sister mysteriously disappeared inside the same museum when they were children. Simon has never gotten over her disappearance and feels a compelling urge to find her, eventually taking a job at the museum that holds so much tragedy for him.
The novel kept me guessing, especially regarding the nature of the dinosaurs, which is a significant part of the mystery. And I’m perfectly fine with mystery and weirdness, both of which are abundant in this story.
If you enjoy suspense, monsters, mysteries, and paleontology, this book is for you. I had a blast reading it. While it didn’t make me scream or gasp like Relic did, it was suspenseful enough to keep me thoroughly entertained. The Paleontologist ranks among the best of the dinosaur novels in my opinion—and I’ve read a lot of dino-centric fiction.
