I always try to find something good in books even if they are not that good and I prefer not to be too harsh but I honestly can't give a better rate to this book.
Like, why do you give the "origin of the species" title to this if it literally doesn't explain the origin of the species? All we know they come from the bottom of the ocean. Where they were hibernated. We know nothing of their origin. We know only a bit more about what they are and what they are like. Along with this, the story was a bit... rushing. Everything happened fast, things didn't really have weight, the characters had zero personality. There was businessman bad guy, there was main guy with some tragic, there was the love interest-like woman as side character, and I could go on.
Unfortunately, the art is bad, too. So it's not like this part could have saved the bad story and badly/blankly written characters.
But even with these, I would have given it at least two stars IF they'd managed to deliver the promised horror/sci-fi mood but... they hadn't. It couldn't keep me interested, it didn't give me chills, nothing at all.
All in all, I had high hopes for this but I disappointed a lot. I don't recommend.
