Review:

"The beast hesitated, experiencing conflicting emotions for the first time in its savage life."

It's a blustery winter, the roads are icy, and traveling becomes risky as a blizzard hits in full force. As NORAD is transporting top secret cargo, a car accident ensues unleashing a monstrous, brutal killing machine. This creature is an enhanced hybrid protected by the government and they are now on the hunt to capture the beast. 

The town of Mangus Pass is now in great peril as the ghastly beast is on a killing spree, leaving a bloody trail in its wake, no one is safe that crosses its path. Torn limbs, spewing guts, decapitated heads, and death in huge numbers. 

More and more secrets are revealed and they are not very pleasant, almost making one feel just as upset and angered by the acts the government have done to create such a monster. It all goes wrong and now it's up to all involved to clean up the mess. 

If you are a fan of fast paced creature-features, leaving you on edge, with lots of blood, guts and gore, this is a book you will surely enjoy. Very entertaining! An adrenaline rush!

(I have to include that when I came to page 174......MY JAW DROPPED AND I WAS GASPING IN HORROR!) 

Many surprises and the ending will leave you wanting more!
