Toby Hoffman has spent most of his life hearing the stories surrounding the ‘monsters’ living in the woods near Silver Falls. Though such stories are urban legends, recent unexpected killings make him question that very fact. Though he and the rest of the town aren’t exactly sure as to what to make of the situation itself, he knows there has to be a plausible explanation for what’s going on.Immersing himself in his every day life, Toby starts to wonder as to what is going on. Who’s causing the killings? Is it possible there’s an actual beast out there? Refusing to sit on the sidelines, he does a little digging of his own, though it’s not without repercussions. The more he strives to uncover the secrets behind the supposed beast, the more others come to harm.When it becomes apparent that one of his friends knows more than he lets on, Toby does the only thing he can. He questions Nate about everything. Though Nate isn’t that forthcoming, he comes to the realization that his friend is involved somehow. If he’s to succeed in setting all wrongs to right, he’ll need to find a way to curb the beast’s desires. The question is, how can he do that without hurting others in the process? Will it be possible to make his friend come to his senses before anyone else comes to harm?Though The One You Feed is a standalone novel, it’s definitely linked to James’ first book. Granted, I haven’t read Something Wiccan, as of yet, but it’s premise is definitely as catching as the one for this book. The action starts from the moment you open the book, and doesn’t let go. There are a good many twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end. I definitely forward to more of James’ works.
