Crota
by Owl Goingback
A few incidents start to occur in a small town and the sheriff's first thought is that they must be from a bear attack. But as he investigates more of these violent incidents he finds out it's something much worse.
Admittedly, creature features are not my go-to subgenre but I really enjoyed this one and thought it did what it did really well! Goingback's writing is easy to get into and I found the novel to be a real page-turner. The story is quite action-packed with some excellent gruesome and gory moments.
What sets this apart from countless other creature features is the element of Native American folklore. It's a big part of the story and there are some Native American characters. It also touches on themes such as colonialism and racism and their impact on these characters. This gave the novel a unique and interesting angle that really worked with the story.
Overall, this is a fun and gory ride with some heart and emotion too. Definitely a great choice if you're looking for a fast-paced read!
