Review: written for shock value and not as a good horror story
Rating: 2 out of 5

Spoilers ahead.The books starts with a woman taking her baby and leaving her abusive husband.  On her way to her mom's house, she stops for a puppy out in a nasty blizzard.  She rescues the puppy, which is housing a deadly genetic creature.  The creature rips its way out of the puppy and kills the woman.  The baby was either killed by the creature or dead of exposure.  Of course, the puppy was part of a litter.  The creatures invade the town and kill one citizen after another, until there is only one creature left.  The End.Spoilers over.The deaths of the various towns people are largely boring.  An unsuspecting person or unsuspecting group of people are killed by a genetically altered creature.  The creature slashed and diced, and then it left the building.  One by one they were slowly killed in an unexciting manner.The book starts with an exciting premise, which was allowed to dwindle into mindless killing.  As the townsfolk wandered around and assessed the body count, I was left wondering if this story was ever going to get exciting.  The answer would be NO.  I wasn't surprised by the lack of an ending.  The only other ending would be someone shooting the last creature and a loving clench while crying for all that was lost.I recommend returning this for a full refund.
