Lawless, British Columbia is on edge after a powerful earthquake jolts the region, quickly followed by a string of savage animal attacks. Newly stationed to the area after her predecessor mysteriously disappears, Conservation Officer Christine Moon needs to calm the jangled nerves of the small mountain town.
Awakened from ancient slumber, something stalks the swirling, grey mists that surround Lawless. A beast with a gnawing hunger that grows stronger by the minute - its only thought, to satisfy its ravenous appetite.
Rampant corruption at the highest level has targeted Christine to be the next mysterious disappearance. Now, she's in a fight for her life while trying to track and contain the creature threatening to decimate the local population.

My feeling of this being an early novel comes from an overuse of the language. If one word is good, then five are better. Some of the best writers pen their books with an almost sparse style. The author here gives us far more detail than needed. I don't mind that, but three paragraphs can be made into one and say the same thing. This is just experience, and I expect future works will tighten up.
The main irritation I had was with small things, that irritated like a small barb that kept pricking at me. In describing Alex, the author kept referring to him as 'the boy'. After a time or two, I kept wanting to say 'he has a name!'. It took me out of the story. And some characters were over described - such as Trip and Alex. Trip isn't a naïve idiot and Alex isn't an angel. I got a little tired of the descriptions making them out as if they were.
In the future, I hope the author keeps their eye on the tale that they are telling, and less on the minutia surrounding the world they have built. It will make for a cleaner story. If Alex has a story to tell, write a separate story about it. Don't try to do too much in one book.
Overall a great, enthralling story, and I will definitely be following this author, hoping for more.
Good story, from a promising author

- Vivid Worldbuilding and Quirky Personality
- Enjoyable Characters (albeit fairly stereotypical)
- Well Executed Monster Mayhem with grisly gore and legitimate tension
Cons:
- Frequently goes off on long tangents overexplaining the lives and histories of Lawless and its people (30 minutes of book devoted to 2 characters that get eaten at the end of the same chapter their introduced)
- Underdeveloped explanation of the mystery and reasoning behind the horror
- Somewhat anticlimactic ending
Overall I saw great potential here for this author to make some truly great horror creature features. When the monster and it's rampage is focused on its some of the best stuff I've read or seen in recent monster memory. Unfortunately the book gets more than a little buried by extensive detail and world building that begins to feel rather repetitive by the end. When the balance is found it's a great read/listen but you just have to be forgiving of LOTS of detail and explanation in between. Looking forward to see what this author does next...but hopefully honey crullers and magnificent beards don't play as big of a role.
