Savage Species

Fiction Without Frontiers

By: Jonathan Janz

Narrated by: Todd Boyce

"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.

I like monster stories

Some people think themselves too refined for horror novels about monsters and ghosts. I am not one of them. I've enjoyed every single Jonathan Janz book I've read. I like the original story lines, I like the characters. These stories are interesting, entertaining and fun. I recommend them all.

Gore Feast Galore

This book is in-your-face horror throughout. Also, there is some rape for people who are triggered with such scenarios, and it was even hard for me to listen to at times. Had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The narrator has a fittingly creepy voice to go with the story. 5 stars from me.

So Good

Second book in a row by Mr.Janz. great characters that become very real (this is what I love most about novels), well written, fast paced, in depth history that gives context/reason to/for the action. very scary. very gory, but necessary to realize the creatures ferocity - not gore for gore's sake. Still, be prepared. BUT, it is the characters & the story that are this book's heart. Off to get a third book by Mr. Janz.

Fast paced. Loved the character development.

I loved the characters and how fast paced the book was. You had no idea who was safe!

Story is great, narration meh

The story is fast-paced and sucks you in. The last quarter felt progressively depressing but it fit well in this universe. The narrator, however, mispronounced several words (doesn’t anyone watch for that?). He also created a voice for Colleen that grated on my nerves. It made her one-dimensional. None of this was enough for me to stop listening to the book but I’m hopeful this review will help the narrator improve.
