4.5*Savage Species was my first read by author Jonathan Janz and I have to say it was a lot of fun. I read the 5 instalments of the series but it was the first one that I enjoyed the most.Peaceful Valley Nature Reserve is about to be invaded by some pretty nasty beings and they are extremely hungry (and horny, ewww).This is a great creature feature, they reminded me somewhat of Richard Laymon's cellar creatures but I have to say these things were a lot nastier. The characters in the story were well done but perhaps a little clichéd although this may have been intentional by the author as part of the fun. The characters were fleshed out just enough to keep the story going, some great characters to both root for and wish a messy death. Good pacing, nice character set up and lots of grisly action towards the end.
