Terror mountain wales read like a really bad straight to video creature feature where you are yelling at the screen but not out of fear Edward J McFadden III Needed a palate cleanser after all the fantasy romance I ve been reading lately And well uh It s a lot of blood and guts and viscera scattered around in the snow in the Alaskan wilderness Human animals Whatever This is your pretty standard monster in the woods sort of story But there s no tension No build up No mystery It s pretty straightforward there s a creature out in the woods it interacts frequently with Wyatt Wyatt tries to shoot it and misses it disappears only to eat somebody or something else in the next chapter Rinse repeat There wasn t a ton of lore around the beast like I sort of expected there to be We get very brief tales about where the thing could have come from but it s a blip on the radar in between the main character finding parts of dead bodies in the woods So you re not really drawn into the creepy crawly woo woo what could it be The fact that it s a mythical beast and not say a polar bear doesn t really matter at the end of the day The descriptions of the whale fish wolf bull thing is weird but I wasn t ever scared by it Because it sort of just acts like any other animal would Because there s no mystery this isn t really a horror story in my opinion Action sure Gory absolutely But I wasn t horrified Which is sad because I wanted to be That s not to say this wasn t interesting I was interested the whole way through It just didn t grip me It didn t terrify me or give me the creeps If you enjoy movies like Jaws or Lake Placid this will probably be up your alley Edward J McFadden III Great creature book Sometimes you lose the characters or the writing when you read this kind of book but this author pulled it off wonderfully My only nit pick is at the end there was a lot of confusion as to who was driving which vessel and which agent was where which made it confusing to read But other than that a great fun read with some Alaskan lore to boot Edward J McFadden III
