Publisher's summary

Sani Natonaba's ancestors have lived in these canyons for more than 700 years, but they aren't the only ones. When he awakens to the bleating of his family's sheep being slaughtered, he learns that something is stalking this isolated corner of the reservation, a predator unlike any he has encountered before, one that attacks with alarming stealth and ferocity.

Only his grandfather knows what lurks outside in the darkness, but a stroke has left him unable to communicate, forcing Sani to embark upon a journey into the distant past to discover the horrible truth. And he's running out of time. There's no sign of an end to the killing, and already he's found claw marks and strange footprints around his home.

Sani must decipher the clues hidden a millennium ago by the Anasazi before their mysterious disappearance if he's to have any hope of surviving the impending confrontation with an ancient enemy that has already hunted his bloodline to the brink of extinction.

Not as good as the many other of his books i have read

Story development was choppy and not as well told as most of the books i have read from the author. The story had a lot of potential but i didn’t see the colorful painting of the story as ive seen in other of his books. Part of this may be the choice of reader.

End was the shocker

Talk about the ending being a shocker! Give the story a listen, if not for the twist ending.

Story was great and held my interest well.

Story was excellent with a great narrator, only thing I did not like was the oomph, oomph, oomph that was very unnescesary and quite annoying! Really took away from the overall preformance.

The story.

The story was fantastic and well narrated.
I'm impressed and ecstatic that for the non believers, it was followed up with a description of non mythical tribes and modern day practices.

Kind of boring

I’m sorry, but this was in no way a horror story as purported in the description. Interesting history, but certainly not what I was looking for. Plus, it took “getting to the good stuff” almost to the end of the book. There was no real appeal to the main character. This should’ve been a short story with the majority of the minute cut. Oh well, at least it was a free book!

Missed opportunities

No real setup, missed opportunity for a good story, need detail. Tried new author, disappointed.
