    About this ebook

    "Jonathan Janz does several things immaculately well in Savage Species, primarily crafting high-octane action sequences and creating antagonists that you can easily hate in the span of only a few short paragraphs...Overall, Savage Species delivered the goods." - High Fever Books


    Jesse thinks he’s caught a break when he, Emma (the girl of his dreams), and her friend are assigned by their newspaper to cover the opening weekend of a sprawling new state park. But the construction of the park has stirred an evil that has lain dormant for nearly a hundred years, and the three young people—as well as every man, woman, and child unlucky enough to be attending the Algonquin Falls grand opening—are about to encounter the most horrific creatures to ever walk the earth.

      This is a full-on gore fest, creature feature. If that's your sort of thing, you'll love this. This is not a short book, and at the start I wondered how the narrative could be extended over so many pages. The plot is brilliant however, lacking repetition, continually evolving. New twists arise and separate threads return to weave a detailed roller coaster ride. Basically, even with being graphically gory, it's a damned good story. I loved the variety of vocabulary used, too. It's littered with brilliant words that seem too often shunned. It's a language feast without being over complicated or pretentious.It's dark, it's grim, but even in the most hopeless of times it retains a slither of hope that keeps you turning the pages. I wish things had ended better for some characters, but the ruthlessness of the story is what heightens its value as a horror novel.Many thanks to Flame Tree Press for the ARC. My review is my honest opinion.
    • 5/5
      This book scared me so badly I had to take breaks reading it. This story line was absolutely amazing. Not only is the story well written but it is made to feel real. The first three pages sucks you in and keeps you there. Savage Species is a perfect horror story.
