This well paced creature feature SHOULD be a fantastically fun read for fans of that genre. If you enjoy the “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” type of monster and horror stories, it should be right up your alley. There’s the oft used, and very enjoyable, “monster in the lake” trope in which a horrible monster presents itself as a beautiful woman to lure in unsuspecting people. We even get the “monster infects one or two people so that they can do the monsters bidding from there on out” trope. All fun horror story ideas I typically would enjoy.

Rolfe maintains a solid pace from start to finish that had me flipping pages because it all seemed so dire, I needed to see what happened next.

But, the amount this book suffers from poor or non-existent editing, nearly forced me to DNF this book and left me wholly disappointed after finishing it. At the end of the day it feels like a fun idea in need of a good edit and a little polishing to make it a fantastic read, but as it stands right now it’s just not there. At least not for me.
