Publisher's summary

Shaw and his loyal dog, Girl, do their best to avoid humanity, especially now that his fellow werewolves are nearly extinct. But humanity is heading his way.

The Facility is a research centre that specialises in cryptozoology, the search for legendary creatures. Once these ‘cryptids’ are found, they are caged, abused and experimented on to graft their physical prowess onto ordinary soldiers.

Even as the Facility’s troops hunt down Shaw, and the cunning Cryptid Nine plans her escape, something far more horrifying is emerging from hibernation to feed.

And both human and cryptid will discover that nothing can stop the Wendigo....

Fun, interesting and… something different!

Give the narrator a little time, and he ends up being a good fit.
Great, interesting story.
If you dig anti-hero type characters, this one is fun.

the voice narrator ruined it

this story had so much potential. but. the narrator’s inflection and backwood accent for any minor character was god-awful. i had to stop and come back to it multiple times

Great story!

Fantastic story filled with sci-fi, gore, and mythology. Plot line keeps you always engaged but narration could have been better.

Enjoyed this...

Narrator was excellent. This is my first time trying out the genre. There were parts where it was gory but I pushed through. It was as if I was watching an action movie. I immediately purchased the 2nd book. I definitely recommend this book.

interesting take on cryptids

A very unique take on cryptic, well worth the read. It makes you wonder where it will go from here, and end.

Interesting enough to listen to book 2

It wasn’t bad just had some holes. Overall interesting enough to get through it and want to try book 2. I would say the two main problems is the time jumping around made no sense. With multiple stories being told one in a constant time and the other skipping days felt so off. The other main issue was a lot of characters seemed so one dimensional. But over good idea

Book was good. Reader, not so much.

Book had a good plot, LOTS of imagination. Really gory, which doesn’t bother me (I’m an RN). I’d like to read the sequel, but not sure I will if it’s the same narrator. He read in sort of a rhythm, and his voice accented the last word in every sentence. For instance, “The cave was very DARK. He couldn’t see, but there was a terrible SMELL. The creature was very HIDEOUS. He ran for his LIFE. He was carrying his DOG.” And on and on for every single sentence in the book.
