Meg: Primal Waters

Gave this a go when I saw that all except for 2 are currently included with audible. Just in time to head into October spooky reads, and I love some scifi shark horror. Each one's been a little less science and a bit more fiction, but parts have remained fun. 
This one has a time jump. Jonas is now a father of two children, a boy and a girl, and is also 64 (?) years old. The family is broke because the Tanaka institute's loss of Angel the Meg. Terry is trying to force him to write his memoirs, figuring they'd sell well. This book really sells him as a has-been, even though he was a graduate in paleontology, it's just kind of glossed over as not relevant. 
So when Jonas is offered a co-host position for a daredevil reality TV show, he jumps at the prospective paycheck. This is obviously just a plot point that would get Jonas Taylor back on the ocean, that part I can respect, but it went so incredibly heavy into the stunts and the characters' personal experience and thoughts with them that it just made no sense at all. It was too much and took away from the story itself. Not to mention the author took the opportunity to sexualize Jonas' 17 years old daughter, a character he wrote, and could have easily made older, but clearly he liked that idea. He also loves to make Terry and Jonas daydream about cheating. 
All of these should have a content warning for misogyny right with the blurb, it's almost to the point where they are hard to read, but the shark horror continues to bring fun to the stories and that kind of keeps me holding on. Personally a 3/5*, I need a break.
