The Buck Stops Here by Sean Seebach
4.0
What a fun, quick creature-feature novella! Following a local teenager's mysterious murder in a small town, Abigail Lane is tasked with finding the killer and stopping additional carnage. It just turns out that the killer isn't quite human, but more a half human- half deer capable of decapitating someone with its massive antlers.
I found the kill scenes to be brutal and satisfying to my horror loving soul. I honestly would have liked more of those scenes and a little less of the "investigative work" of Laine. For some reason, I just never seem to dig detective elements in stories, but that's just me. I felt like I "called" the killer early on, but I still enjoyed the ride and I thought the character development was well done. The weredeer beast was a new creature for me, and was original and interesting.
We have A LOT of deer where I live, and there are times when they run across our yard and stop and stare at me when they notice my presence. I don't know that I will be able to look back at them anymore and not think there may be something sinister lurking behind those eyes.
If you're in the mood for a creature-feature with a whole new type of monster, give this one a try!
