"What if you were sucked into a portal to a parallel universe? One where the dinosaurs never went extinct? One where they evolved to rule?
Sounds pretty epic, huh? Believe me, it is and not in a good way. It's been nothing short of a nightmare. From a casual Friday night at the beach to be chased through carnivorous jungles and the streets of their fortified cities, I just want to go home where the most stressful thing is breaking in my new surfboard.
Getting home isn't going to be easy, though. On this world, the dinosaur royals--the Annunaki—reign supreme. To them, our kind are nothing but dogs, shackled slaves to the Royal houses. The Annunaki might have bigger teeth, but with us, they are about to learn they've bitten off more than they can chew. We have a surprise up our sleeves, one that will make them see that no one holds our leash.
My name is Kellen Masters and this is my story--welcome to the world of the Marduk."

REVIEW
Dinomorphs: Back to the Beginning is pure magic filled with all the elements required for an excellent young adult book. In Dinomorphs we meet Kellen and his pack of surfing buds who are more than what they seem. In fact, they are a race of half Dino half human from a parallel earth when Dinos evolved as well as humans. The mythology of it all is explained in the book and is easy to follow.
Gray’s writing is spot on capturing the perfect tone of the teenage characters. His detail and descriptions are finely tuned, and it’s like you can actually taste the salt water in the opening surfing scene. I adored this book and would definitely rate it as a top-notch book for YA readers. Kids will dig the Dino teens.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Odin Gray is an Australian YA fantasy and Adult Urban Fantasy writer. He is best known for his upcoming 'DINOMORPHS' and 'Dark Realm' series. "I have always lived in my own head. As a kid, all I did was create stories and act them out. The more magic the better. When I read Christopher Pike's 'The Last Vampire' as a teen, it was all over. After that, anything that had fangs and fur had my name on it. I have lived and breathed vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters ever since." Both series follow their protagonists as they deal with the burden of leadership, love, and losses while navigating the world in which dangerous creatures not only exist in everyday life but inside them as well. Both stories tackle the age-old question "what is it that makes you a monster?" Odin Gray is involved with a number of animal charities and mental health organizations, particularly supporting animal rescue efforts and raising funds for teen awareness of depression and anxiety.
Odin Gray currently lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his canine master, Odin (yes, two Odin's in one house gets confusing).
