I had trouble with this book, there just wasn't enough tension to keep me invested. I started it and was intrigued by the opening with teenagers crashing a 'borrowed' car and then being attacked by a monster, however after that my interest fell off pretty quickly. The creepy small town didn't sink its claws into me because there wasn't enough time given to the mystery before the solution is presented very early in the book. The author includes A LOT of biblical quotes and while I understand that references need to be made since the monster is the behemoth from biblical myth, it rubbed me the wrong way.

In short, this book wasn't for me. I recommend you read other reviews to decide if this will interest you.
