Review: Like Zombies? Like Were Wolves? Then this may be your proverbial cup of tea (or more a cup of blood)

The critters are a bit of a combination of both monsters. They don't need a full moon to change, and they are good to go during daylight hours, so not 'true' werewolves. They love human flesh (yes, as other reviews have stated - there is gore!), but unlike most zombies, they have cunning and intelligence and the ability to work together toward hunting goals. The monsters have inhuman speed and are strong, but they can be killed.There are a few weaknesses in the book, like how is there an underground fresh water supply (this is an important point in the story, so I won't spoil it in this review) on a tiny island surrounded by salt water? And why would an island have so few boats?  But you tend to overlook these things in the excitement of the chase.So the really big question is the ending - who or what remains on the island when all is said and done?  Hopefully that will be a sequel since there are unfinished questions at the end. I am hoping for, and will be watching for any other work by this author.Even with its faults, I found this to be a real page turner - just couldn't put it down.
