The Animal by Chad Nicholas

Title: The Animal

Author: Chad Nicholas

Genre: Horror

Published: Oct. 3, 2023

I received a copy for review from the author.

The Animal has been all anyone can talk about in a small town that was hunted 25 years ago. They came from the woods and killed 17 people, and only 8 year old Riley survived. Now new murders are occurring, and it may be up to Riley to stop them.

This slasher offers plenty of kills, action, mystery, and twists. It is very cinematic and would make a great movie. After reading Chad Nicholas' other novels, Nightmare and Shade, I knew these were things that can be expected from this new book. There is a really interesting cast of characters mostly made up of teenagers that The Animal has decided to target. Riley is a super strong main character who has been traumatized by her parents death, and would do anything to protect her young daughter from the fate they met.

If you are looking for a fun twisty slasher then I highly recommend The Animal by Chad Nicholas. If you would like a taste of what this novel holds you can read the first chapter which has been published as The Animal: Party at Kelly's before buying the full book. The kindle version of this one is only $0.99 and both are available on Kindle Unlimited. However, with the beautiful chapter artwork and formatting throughout you are going to want a physical copy of The Animal.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

When the Night Falls by Glenn Rolfe Book Review

Title: When the Night Falls Author: Glenn Rolfe Series: Until Summer Comes Around Book 2 Genre: Horror Published: 6/11/24 by Flame Tree Press I received a copy for review through NetGalley. A group of vampires descend upon a beach town after a documentary airs about the killings that took place there years ago. These vampires seem set on getting to Rocky, and leave a large body count in their wake. When the Night Falls is the sequel to the beach town vampire story Until Summer Comes Around. This time the story is a little bit darker and a little bit bloodier. It takes place in the 1990s with plenty of fun nods to the decade to set time and place. I would highly recommend this series to fans of vampire stories. These are fast fun reads for summer. My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
