This was a scary good book. There is lots of tension before we find out that the monster is. It continues during the hunt, and comes to a satisfying conclusion.The action may be fast and furious, but it was the characters that made the book. All of them had both strong and weak moments which were very believable. When weak they had doubts and fears that I would imagine anyone facing their situation would have. When strong they were full of resolve and steel and seemed ready to take on the world if need be.My favourite character was Graeme. Mr Fancy Pants from New York had a lot more grit and strength anyone expected in the beginning. He was snarky and urbane and lots of fun to read. Without giving anything away, I love insulted he was about his shoe. It had me giggling even during the tension moments.There was just a hint of romance in the book. The barest embers of a fire. It added a bit of dimension, but without some more sparks or a bit of smoke, it kind of faded into the background.Overall, this was a great scary story. I wouldn't suggest starting late at night though because you are going to want to read it straight to the end.
