Splat. Pfui. Drut.

Winged Leviathan
by Forrest Audobon

I thought I'd try something different and the description didn't sound so bad--
                    SINISTER WINGS FLAP IN THE DARKNESS...

But then came The March Of The Cliches.

• Edward had become strong and handsome and Galina had become excruciatingly hot.
• ...piercing brown eyes that knew no fear.
• They were the Lucky 13, one of baddest squads in all of the Marines.

And then came the predictable and inane interactions of the characters.

• Galina and Edward go swimming.  She pulls him under water and holds him until he thrashes.  He pushes her underwater and holds her while she thrashes.  After this minor bout of S&M, they laughed.  They kissed.  They both got sucked down in a huge vortex....

Well, the latter part was unexpected.  But by then, I was more than ready to see them die.

I made it to Chapter 3 and decided to end the torture.  Pfui.
