Publisher's summary

Bishop is trapped deep inside Montana's Apex Valley along with his injured wife, a shotgun-wielding stranger named Colbrick, and a sneaking suspicion he's never making it back to Chicago. Things no man has seen before haunt the woods. Strange animal species creep behind pine trees, some of them with flashing red tags that blink faster and faster. Giant birds mimic the sound of humans and lord over the sky. Leaf-shaped creatures attack anything that moves and flash vivid colors across their glistening backs.

As Bishop and his companions scramble across the Montana wilderness, they find human remains and animal carcasses littering the woods. The small town of Elmore is empty, the windows broken and streaked with blood. Trout Bridge - their only way out - is blocked by abandoned cars, none that were inbound.

With the strange animal species closing in, Bishop realizes his group must take a stand. He's got a plan, and maybe they've got one last shot before the invasive species spread to the rest of the US.

Exciting, thrilling, fast paced, great book!

Loved this book and can not wait to read more of this authors books! I really enjoyed the characters and discovering the story through the twists and turns of this page turner. I highly recommend this book. Listened to the audible version and was not disappointed by that either. Very well done.

Not bad, but the ending!

Reminds me of Stephen Kings’ “The Mist” not a bad pace, the female character is a bit annoying at times.

Not much

Why does the narrator sound like a kindergarten teacher who decided to become a narrator? I feel like he should be surrounded by kids in a circle. And yes Angela is extremely annoying!! Maybe this could have been a bit better with a different narrator.

Worth the credit.

After buying several highly rated books and finding myself mind numbingly bored I was happy to have stumbled upon this on. I have sometimes mainstream and more often macabre or unusual tastes in books but I say give it a try. You may just find, like I did, that it was a good book

Pretty good read

Crazy/scary monsters from the start! When animals attack, can man survive? What about mutant Alien animals????

I really liked the story. This story is far better than many reviews say. Loved the characters and U2 and 3 toes.

Too fantastical

The characters faced certain death numerous times. Too much crying. Not sure of reason behind 'supernatural' events. Too many unanswered questions. storyline not bad, creatures imaginative and the reader's voice was enough to make the story worth listening to

Great book

This is a great book. The story is a bit hard to swallow in the beginning, but if you stick to it you will be pleasantly rewarded.
