Crocodile Man is the second book in the Crocodile Spirit Dreaming series. Although I don't read the first book, I still able to understand what happened in the first book, thanks to the one-page first book summary the author given in the beginning of the novel.
The setting of Crocodile Man took place mainly in Northern Australia with few chapters in the UK.
By the end of the first chapter, I was having goosebumps and this is a good sign for me to continuing it.
In this book, we follow several people throughout the discovery of unidentified head in a waterhole in Northern Australia. We follow Charlie, the first person who found the "head", Alan and Sandy as part of the police interrogation team, and Susan.
I enjoy reading about Alan's journey and how he went to discover who actually this dead man was.
My issue is at Susan's POV. I didn't really connect with her and sometimes I got confused when I read her part. I want to know her story better and feeling deeper than the author wrote. Or maybe it was just because I don't exactly know what is she afraid of from the first book and about what exactly happened at that night.
The author creates the setting very vivid and because of that, I can feel the atmosphere of Northern Australia clearly when I read Crocodile Man. If you want to feel someplace different, I will recommend this book.
All in all, reading Crocodile Man is like reading a fictional story mix with crocodile spirit folklore. It was a unique experience.
I won this book through Goodreads giveaway. My opinions in this review are entirely my own.
My rating is 3 stars.
