In rural Missouri, Crawford County has had more than its share of wildlife problems. Not even a year earlier the woods were home to a vicious killer brought back from extinction.

In "The Wolf's Moon," Mark Lansdowne and his pal, Warren Skruggs, sent them back…but at a cost. Now something is haunting the rivers in Crawford County.

The Missouri State Water Patrol must solve the deaths of several residents who died in “The River” but can they stop this menace before more people are killed?

You Won't Want to put it Down!

November 4, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is another page-turner from a talented author! It’s the sequel to The Wolf’s Moon because it deals with some of the original characters and takes place in the same vicinity. Also, we learn more about the background of the two main personalities from the first book. I enjoyed that!

However, this novel takes the crisis in a new direction. It deals with an almost larger-than-life threat in the water, not on land.

I was so disappointed at how short this story was! I was done reading before I knew it! As with the first book, this is the perfect book for lovers of suspense/mystery/horror. It blends the right element of all three. It’s a quick, easy read that will take you out of your comfortable world for a time. That being said, it does contain the usual amount of violence found in the horror genre.

Again, the characters are completely believable. They aren’t stereotypes at all. These people are complicated, fallible human beings who are familiar with pain and struggles of all kinds.

The plot keeps us guessing until the end. Here are just a few examples:
• What are the animals that are terrorizing the river?
• Why do they appear to be slightly different from indigenous breeds?
• Will someone be able to stop them? Who? How? When? Where?

I highly recommend this book to any fan of horror. Frankly, it’s at the top of the genre in both plotting and characterization.

A Frightening Tale with big fish to fry!

January 1, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The River is a gripping short story that kept this reader mesmerized and on the edge of my seat. I read each word and felt the fear of the characters as they searched for the cause of death to a man who had gone fishing in the river. This was only the beginning.

The author knows how to build up suspense and keep the reader in his grip as the story unfolds. I thoroughly enjoyed this scary tale.

Another good read from Patrick Jones!

September 13, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I enjoyed this book! The characters added some depth to ones I had met in "The Wolf's Moon" along with new ones and the telling of a good story. It left me wondering where the creatures came from and if their source was the same as the wolves. Why were they in that little corner of Missouri? Did they get them all? I think it gave a good beginning for a longer book in the future if the author chose to write it. This is one of those books I like to read in one sitting. I'm looking forward to more from the author.

I love this author

I love this author. His first book hooked me, so I was very excited to see this novella (?) available. As usual, he kept the right amount of tension going throughout the story line, and filled in the character development flawlessly. I am SO looking forward to his next novel, and this shorty was a nice way to keep me involved. I think I'll reread his first novel again now......

I enjoyed this short book. Quite a fast paced thriller with a lot of action packed into a short story. The River is just another example of why I only swim in clear swimming pools!

This was a really fast read, but it was exciting in just the right spots. I highly recommend this book. (And I didn't have to get my red pencil out the first time...how refreshing!)

great story

A great read. I'm not one for fish stories or anything that has to do with fishing, but this book captivated me. However ended too soon . Now I need to find the first book..lol

Familiar plot

This plot is tired. The characters were interesting but not developed. Anti climatic ending.
It is a quick read. Reads like a short story.

Not as good as The Wolf Moon

Not as good as The Wolf Moon, which I've read numerous times, but suspenseful. Hope Patrick Jines writes more Mark Landsdowne adventures.

The book was ok. Did not realize it was a novella or I would not have bought it. Excellent premise but ended before it developed. Disappointing

Another Patrick Jones Thrill ride.

This short book was a gift of the author and he was not expecting a review. I devoured this book in one sitting and then could not get to sleep.Read more
