Publisher's summary

It was supposed to be a simple bank robbery. Quick. Clean. Efficient. It was none of those. With police searching for them across the state, a band of criminals hide out in a desolate cabin on the frozen shore of Lake Shadow. Isolated, shrouded in thick forest, and haunted by a mysterious history, they thought it was the perfect place to hide.

Tensions mount as they hear strange noises outside. Slain animals are found in the snow. Before long, they realize something is watching them. Something hungry, violent, and not of this world.

In their attempt to escape, they found the Creature of Lake Shadow.

Wait the creature wins

Creature Of Lake Shadow by Michael Cole was a fun ride. The overall story was deff exciting cops vs robbers with the creature showing up to mess them both up. I actually really enjoyed all of the characters in this story. Now to the Creature. This is deff no normal creature honestly how it killed its victims it should be in a Mortal Kombat game. I really enjoyed the ending it’s not very often in a creature feature where we see the creature actually win so win it does happen it’s always a special occasion. All in all I would recommend this one to anyone who is a creature feature fan.

Classic horror

Well, I wanted a horror story and I got one. It was just what I expected with plenty of dumb decisions, cliché characters and Gore.
The narrator did a great job. I am new to this narrator, but will look for more of his work. Overall, this was everything it was supposed to be as horror goes. Very entertaining and lots of shaking my head lol

A lot of reaching and stretching

A protagonist bank robber who accessory to murder that the author paints as a guy with a conscience and maybe even a bit chivalrous. It did not work for me at all.

An alien that is attracted to a human female as a mate to replace the one that died from his species. That worked less for me.

Finally - the gore gets to a point where it’s so over the top it is comical. Way too much of that detail and detracted from an already struggling story line.

Worth a listen but wish it was better.

Don't get me wrong. I listened to the whole book, and enjoyed it, as I would an episode of some TV crime drama or SiFi Channel horror schlock. On the plus side he took a many times done premise and plotted it well enough to overcome any "been there, read that" nonsense. Furthermore the action scenes were well done, the suspense pretty well handled and ending a surprise.

Given these positives I was a bit disappointed when it didn't deliver more. The potential was there. The characters in particular had the could have made it a much better book. I wanted to care about them. But despite intriguing outlines they were for the most part not developed and painted in broad stereo typical strokes. And those stereo-types were jarring in places (how many times can the female lead scream and back away?)

Am I being too harsh? Perhaps. If so it's because the writer has real potential and the book didn't live up to my expectations. I will however try other writing by him to see how he develops.

Super original story

I love the ending
I feel like this story can have a sequel.
This is can be a tv movie or a miniseries
Great story, you got a bunch of thieves and they hide out in a cabin by the lake in the middle of a winter storm. A narcissistic/abusive boyfriend gets killed. Awesome

Not all monsters are so easily defeated.

Bad people in a bad situation. The story has weird pacing but really ramps up towards the end.

A little contrived

The story and setting were interesting but some parts of the plot didn't make sense. The narrator did a good job though.
