Publisher's summary

There’s a thin line between animal and man. A line that’s about to be crossed.

Jack and Allen need a break. They’ve decided to spend the summer before their senior year of college out in Western Massachusetts. But their quest for rest and relaxation comes to an end when they arrive in Greifsfield, MA. Their friendship is tested by a mysterious beauty and her razor-sharp smile, then broken when they’re caught up in a rash of mysterious disappearances.

How will these two friends cope with the truth behind a town that craves raw meat? And how will they survive beneath the glow of the full moon?

Werewolves are real, and there’s no such thing as escape. This vacation’s about to get a little hairy.

The Howling meets 30 Days of Night in this furious lightning blast of a novel.

Critic reviews

“Never has a book’s title been more appropriate. Feral is all gnashing teeth and animal stink. It is just what your veterinarian ordered if you caught fleas from the litany of bad, toothless werewolf books on the market.” (Adam Cesare, author of Video Night and The Con Season)

“An ambitious, balls-to-the-wall werewolf extravaganza. You can feel the lifetime of passion for horror in every paragraph.” (Horror Drive-In)

Great Werewolf Horror

When I read this the first time a couple years back it took its place as one of my favorite werewolf stories. This story about a werewolf infestation that rivals that of the vampires in Salem's Lot was a little over-sexed, but once you get past that it was fantastic. It was entertaining and gory and fun and everything anyone could ask from a horror story.

Shockingly adding a great narrator to an already great horror story only enhances it and that's certainly true in this case.

I highly recommend this story. I received the code for this audiobook at my request and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

FERAL! Craving Raw Meat, Anyone?

Great audiobook!
Nothing is as it seems in Greifsfield, MA. You'll just have to see for yourself. There's a werewolf infestation, and it's a force to be reckoned with. Very cool!

I'm not a huge fan of erotica, but the HORROR of the book was awesome! Lots of intermingling relationships going on, very interesting and complex story, but GREAT! Love when the blood starts flowing haha!

Very interesting, creative & fun book, really enjoyed it! :)

A complex paranormal thriller!

I find myself debating whether this is a werewolf love story or a thriller; maybe a bit of both. Elizabeth our primary villainess and werewolf have a thing for Allen. She spends a large part of the book chasing after Allen while molding him into the werewolf of her dreams. Kind of strange, but original. On the other side of the plot coin we have Antoine Fane, the sinister werewolf, who has his sights on the town of Greifsfield, Maine. His ambitious scheme is to turn everyone in sight creating his own private army to take over the world. Very ambitious, but not original. Amanda Church the hunter versus Fane is the other plot. There are several couples of interest vying for your attention; Elizabeth and Allen, Molly and Allen, college buddies Jack and Allen, and Amanda and Jack. Then there’s Lucy and her father Rory who bring a whole new perspective to family bonds. These are not your typical werewolves or Varcolacs as they are called here. Aside from appearance and killing method, there is little similarity to the wolves of The Howling. When the werewolves do make an appearance the action is intense and the blood starts flying. All-in-all Feral is a pretty good story for fans of the paranormal. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom.

very bloody good time but

Was a very good book Fits the description of horror had lots of blood and was very good with disturbing descriptions That made me feel like it was A horror book I was listening to but just like the rest of the reviewers I have to agree with them they went with too much erotic in their story and needs to be specified under horror and erotic category Other than that if you can tolerate a bit more erotic can highly recommend

Savage

Definitely not the type of werewolf book I usually listen to. Not a hot alpha male looking for his mate kind of book. It’s a good old fashion werewolf horror story. There was a very small part I thought was slow but everything came together. The sex scenes were not romantic and sweet but matched the type of story. It’s not a book about angels so what do you expect. Narrator was good. Some of the accents were meh. This is a fun horror story. I didn’t pay for the audiobook, but I would not regret using a credit. Worth it. Starting book 2.

Definitely horror movie quality story

Jack, Allan, Molly and Lucy spend their college Summer up at Lucy's father's vacation resort in Greifsfield, MA. Allan falls for the town tramp, Elizabeth - a mysterious oversexed sultress known for rousing the affections of married men in town. Molly, having recently been dumped by Allan, can't get over the breakup and makes a fool of herself and leaves herself vulnerable to the evil doings of the town. A werewolf cult is about to unleash its fury on the town of residents and tourists and the group get mixed up into this horrible series of events. Jack joins ranks with a werewolf hunter, Amanda Church, come to town seeking to destroy the beastly threat. Jack is clumsy and while filled with great intentions, he's naive and makes a lot of blunders endangering himself and Amanda.

This is a fairly long tale for this genre but it seems to flow decently. While I'm not opposed to necessary sex and violence to color a story, the over the top sex and orgy scenes feel a bit too much to me. A little gratuitous. It directly reminded me of scenes from the vampire series on HBO, True Blood. Orgies in the woods. It felt a little too borrowed but I could be wrong. Another big influence I felt was Quentin Tarantino's From Dusk Til Dawn. Another vampire movie but similar in feel and mood.

The story takes some subplot detours spotlighting Lucy's father Roy's sick sexual appetites and Allan's feral dreamscapes. The dream states feel disjointed and hard to follow but I think that's the point, as dreams are often confusing like that.

You're made to feel for Elizabeth to some degree but also you're inherently on the side of Jack and Amanda in their efforts to destroy these beasts.

If you like horror, werewolves, blood, guts, gore and sex for that whole-package shock value, then this is the story for you. The narrator did a fine job with the voices and conveying the events in the heightened parts of the story.
