Publisher's summary

The mountains and forests of Washington State harbor a secret. It has remained hidden for millennia. An apex predator that has mastered the art of the hunt. Intelligent... savage... destructive... and now, gone rogue. It no longer sticks to the shadows. The hunt is on, and we are its prey.

Nina Lee is a Forest Ranger assigned to numerous missing persons cases across Mount Rainier National Park and beyond. She knows some come up here to disappear. And she knows most will never be found. But something has changed. Reports of a killer bear and the arrival of an undisclosed government agency have the community on edge.

As brutal murders and home invasions implicate the work of a criminal gang, her father suggests something else is behind the killings. Something from her past – from all their pasts. And it wants revenge.

In Rogue, legend comes to life. Don’t miss this killer bigfoot story. And don’t go camping alone in the Washington woods."

Not For Me

Hate to write a negative review about an author I've grown to like, but this book just didn't do it for me and I couldn't finish it.

I think a lot of it had to do with the narrator. To be clear, I think she was doing as good a job as she could with the material she had to work with, and with the main character being a female lead, I can see why they chose her. The problem came when she had to read the male characters' dialogue - and there were a LOT of male characters - and for me it just broke the immersion. Delivery was, I dunno, off. When it came to reading the female roles, she did great and you could tell that's where she actually had some range to show off.

The plot, man, had I listened all the way through, maybe it could've gone somewhere, but from what I heard, this wasn't shaping up to be Phillips' strongest work. Felt like you knew what the creature was from the outset and that there really wasn't much of a mystery to build up to. Phillips does far better with the Thomas Walker novels, chief among them Shadow Beast.

Ultimately, take this critique with a grain of salt. Maybe it'll be a good listen for you. To each their own.
