About this listen

"Jonathan Janz does several things immaculately well in Savage Species, primarily crafting high-octane action sequences and creating antagonists that you can easily hate in the span of only a few short paragraphs.... Overall, Savage Species delivered the goods." (High Fever Books)

Jesse thinks he’s caught a break when he, Emma (the girl of his dreams), and her friend are assigned by their newspaper to cover the opening weekend of a sprawling new state park. But the construction of the park has stirred an evil that has lain dormant for nearly a hundred years, and the three young people - as well as every man, woman, and child unlucky enough to be attending the Algonquin Falls grand opening - are about to encounter the most horrific creatures to ever walk the earth.

I like monster stories

Some people think themselves too refined for horror novels about monsters and ghosts. I am not one of them. I've enjoyed every single Jonathan Janz book I've read. I like the original story lines, I like the characters. These stories are interesting, entertaining and fun. I recommend them all.

Gore Feast Galore

This book is in-your-face horror throughout. Also, there is some rape for people who are triggered with such scenarios, and it was even hard for me to listen to at times. Had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The narrator has a fittingly creepy voice to go with the story. 5 stars from me.

So Good

Second book in a row by Mr.Janz. great characters that become very real (this is what I love most about novels), well written, fast paced, in depth history that gives context/reason to/for the action. very scary. very gory, but necessary to realize the creatures ferocity - not gore for gore's sake. Still, be prepared. BUT, it is the characters & the story that are this book's heart. Off to get a third book by Mr. Janz.

Story is great, narration meh

The story is fast-paced and sucks you in. The last quarter felt progressively depressing but it fit well in this universe. The narrator, however, mispronounced several words (doesn’t anyone watch for that?). He also created a voice for Colleen that grated on my nerves. It made her one-dimensional. None of this was enough for me to stop listening to the book but I’m hopeful this review will help the narrator improve.

a fun read/listen

Has all the things I enjoy in a book. Monsters with gore. A splash of sexuality. Even though it dealt with serious situations and was quite intense at times, it was still very fun

All around awful

This book is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. If I could sum it up, it’s like “sharknado” in the form of a novel. Nothing makes sense. The things that don’t make sense aren’t interesting. It’s cheesier than an Olive Garden Entree. Don’t get me started on the voice of the guy reading it. He sounds like Batman, if Batman had a considerably more annoying voice

Porn Horror

I suppose if you were an adolescent boy you would enjoy this. Way to much porn and gory descriptions.

Bland Characters, Excessive Sexism, Bad Narration

After reading the reviews for this title I was a little hesitant. Two words, "bad narrator" gave me pause, but after listening to the sample, which was decent, I figured I could stomach the bad narration for what seemed like an ok horror novel. I was wrong. After the beginning scene, the book takes an absolute nose dive. Terrible characters bumbling through a bare bones plot. Clumsy foreshadowing that is less foreshadowing and more akin to being smacked with a sign that reads "here's what's happening next!" Add on an incredibly lecherous "nice guy" character who can't stop thinking about when he can next masterbate to his female coworker in a swimsuit and the narration became the unbearable icing on the cake. I tried listening to it with the narration slowed down a bit, as the man's voice has this high whining, nasal quality, but that only made it worse. The voices he does for the various female characters are borderline a crime against nature. Overall, would not recommend.

Horrible narrator

narrator sounds like he has a sore throat and is constantly whispering. i could not finish this book and i will actively avoid anything else he reads.
