Publisher's summary

The isolated, maximum security prison for the criminally insane that houses some of the nation’s deadliest, most frightening psychopaths. But when a freak storm cuts off all communications and causes a massive power outage, the prisoners get loose...and find there is nowhere to go. The blizzard rages outside.

The inmates are now in charge and the staff must band together to survive.

And then they all discover that the inmates aren't the most dangerous thing about The Loon. Because below the prison is a secret place. A dark place. A place where a creature of monstrous appetites has been born. And it's very, very hungry....

The Loon is a #1 Amazon best seller written by novelist Michaelbrent Collings, whose other best sellers include Darkbound, Apparition, The Haunted, Rising Fears and Billy: Messenger of Powers.

What the hell!?

I don't know if it was the writing or the narration but I didn't even get past the first chapter. This is just bad. If I could get my credit back I would.

I loved the idea of this story but the authors style was just grinding and cliched to the point of distraction.

Poor Story and Narration

I struggled to finish this. The narration started off horrible. Way, way over acted. I've actually started this book three times but could not stand the first chapter. since I was past return date I decided to give it a 4th try. I made it through, but it was suffering the entire way. The same things happening over and over throughout the story just made it seem to go nowhere. The last chapter was just as overrated as th e first. I was glad when it was over. I'm not sure if a different narrator could have saved this book though.
