Resumen del Editor

Troy Turner is a writer living alone in a secluded cabin in the Rocky Mountains. He thought the small, peaceful valley miles away from the busy resort town of Hawthorn would be the perfect setting for his work. He invites two of his closest friends to stay a few weeks to do some hunting in the rugged and remote area. After their arrival, Troy gives them a tour around the property and plans are made to get an early start the next day. Morning arrives quickly and the eager hunters head out to their tree stands to settle in for a long hunt. Soon, an unexpected storm front moves in, and they are forced off the mountain. As they begin making their way down, they are suddenly and viciously attacked by a beast they can't believe is real. Separated from the others, badly injured and desperate to escape, Troy attempts to go for help. The winter storm makes the drive down the mountain road extremely treacherous and with his injuries making it more difficult, he loses control and wrecks his Jeep. He is found unconscious by a snow plow driver and wakes up days later in a hospital bed. Troy tells the unbelievable and horrifying story of the cryptid encounter on the mountain and desperately pleads for help for the friends he was forced to leave behind. Believing it to be a sensationalized story geared at publicity, the sheriff all but dismisses Troy's unbelievable claims, but when a search uncovers the body of one of the men and the other one missing, Troy becomes the prime suspect. How can he prove his innocence when the real killer isn't supposed to exist?

Pleasantly surprised

I really enjoyed this book. I always hesitate when I see “narrated by virtual voice”, but it’s not bad at all. I actually forgot it wasn’t a person narrating the book. So don’t let that stop you from listening.

Great characters, real depth, combined with intelligent adversary’s

This was a really good story very realistic. I like the concept of PAC hunting Sasquatch I like the concept of unknown reasons for why they became hostile as opposed to passive. The only thing that I think could be better is if it was read by an actual person. AI just doesn’t know how to say certain things or pronounce certain things which kind of knocks you out of the moment over and over.

Well written, but I don’t like AI voiceover.

It’s good book, well written and the story was paced nicely. I just really dislike the AI voiceover technol

Terrible Narration

Very YA feel to the story - and the virtual voice just enhanced the simplistic way the dialogue came out- could have been much better with a skilled narrator and more grown up dialogue-
