This was a fun thriller that takes place at a resort where the woolly mammoth has been de-extincted by scientists. The setting is reminiscent of Jurassic Park and there are even a few jokes about Jurassic Park made by the characters. There were definitely some twists that I did not see coming and I enjoyed the ride overall. This book did include a pet peeve of mine, however, where the male author does not do justice to the female lead investigator in his writing. He points out several times that she sleeps in the nude (for convenience) and makes quite a few references to her weight. I don't know why male authors feel the need to do things like this when writing female characters (they don't say anything like this about their male characters) and I just find it really annoying and off-putting.

This is a crazy book. Part Jurassic Park, part CSI, with gore and terror and science gone wrong.
I enjoyed the police investigation part of this book and the crazy plot twists (even if I called the main gotcha near the end). The last 80% of this book is jam packed with action and it never let up until the very end.
I will say I wasn’t a huge fan of how the author wrote his FMC (she is a competent police investigator who is constantly thinking about her diet/appearance?!). I’ll just chalk this up to men writing women poorly. The ending was a bit weak too, considering how much action led up to it. But this was an entertaining audiobook. The narrator also did an outstanding job, and really brought all the characters to life.
