About this listen
Dirus
Thought extinct during the last ice age, a predator has continued to thrive in the shadow of man and has remained undiscovered in the isolated forests of central Canada. In a quest for a new and distant territory, a young pack of carnivores settles in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. With a busy summer tourist season underway, Sam, a resident bear biologist, is thrown into a tangle of puzzling deaths and disappearances. These intelligent creatures stay one step ahead of Sam and her team as they hunt the native wildlife and unsuspecting visitors that stumble upon the territorial and ravenous pack.
L.J. Vitanza originally published Dirus in a serialized format on Amazon’s Kindle Vella.

Story
When two marines and their corpsman reunite after a decade apart, they find themselves caught up in the mystery of their former squad leader’s disappearance. With little more to go on than a handful of disturbing charcoal sketches and the whispers of a local legend, they plunge into the depths of one of America’s last truly wild places. But the trees themselves begin to whisper dark secrets. Secrets of trafficking and violence. Of rotten science and blood. Of something else that lurks in the shadows of the pines—something ancient, savage, and hungry.

Story
A journey into the deepest, darkest jungles of the Venezuelan Amazon...and a primeval place and time that mankind was never meant to exist in. Ben Cartwright, former soldier, home to mourn the loss of his father, stumbles upon cryptic letters from the past between author Arthur Conan Doyle and his great-great-grandfather who vanished while exploring the Amazon jungle in 1908. Amazingly, these letters lead Ben to believe that his ancestor’s expedition was the basis for Doyle’s fantastical tale of a lost world inhabited by long-extinct creatures.

Good Story, Horrible Narration
The story was solid, but the narrator delivered a performance with all the flair, pacing, & penache of a melancholic auctioneer reading the terms & conditions of a cellphone contract.

Monster Story- Don't Choose for Yellowstone or Wolf Science
I wanted to love this book- I have spent up to a month every year in Yellowstone for two decades, observing wolves and other predators and have recently enjoyed several stories involving endangered and rediscovered extinct creatures. Perhaps I am too familiar with this genre.....I was disappointed and tempted to DNF but continued reading as I was gifted the book in exchange for an honest review
The plot is intriguing but the setting was not described well enough to feel familiar and the description of typical behaviors of both animals and humans within this space was laughingly stereotypical and annoying. The bouncing poobs of women, the sneering of teens, the fear of wildlife managers.. made me cringe and detracted from the storyline
I am glad I stuck with it until the end, though, as the action quickened and actual places in the park were referred to to give some context. It was an exciting "monster story" but the science of wolves and the nature of managing wildlife within this national park was misrepresented Read it for the intrigue but don't count on credibility.

Engaging story with relatable characters
Dirus is a unique thriller that is perfect for outdoor lovers, fans of creature encounters or anyone who just enjoys a good thriller. Parts of it remind me of Cujo or Congo, but the main character (human character that is) is one of the stronger female leads in a thriller I’ve read. Pick this one up today, you won’t regret it.
