Savage Species by Jonathan Janz
2.0
I wasn't a fan.
It was my 3rd Janz book, and it takes place in the same world as the other 2, but where the Children of the Dark series is a horror/coming of age series, this one is more horror/splatter.
This follows multiple POVs on a night when an old horror re-emerges from deep underground.
The plot had a lot of potential, but the character work was really not for me.
The male characters were WAY over the top with being horny and nothing else.
The few female characters that weren't compared to soft core porn stars (literally, 1 of the characters was obsessed with porn and told all of the female characters who they looked like) were there to poke fun at.
Janz has real potential as a writer, but he needs to leave the high school mentality behind and work on his characters.
The plot and the monsters would have been good, but I just couldn't get past how bad some of the people acted.
