review 1: "The Montauk Monster" is quite possibly one of the best monster/horror/action books I have read in a very long time. After reading a lot of Urban fantasy for a while, I wanted to get into more horror again.Going onto Amazon.com I looked into horror books ant it brought up a plethora of new authors and new titles to investigate. Not to mention books that are not in book stores and finding the ones that are also into paperback as well, since I don't believe or enjoy reading books on a tablet.The book starts right away, setting the mood to come. Hunter Shea does an incredible of creating situations that seem almost impossible to imagine happening if not impossible to get out of. His characters a numerous, but with just enough to know about each one without bogging the book ... moredown with over stating the life history of each character, which allows to let the book flow smoothly and even.Each situation almost puts you into the scene and allowing you to think would you have done the same thing as that person inthe story. The monster(s), are described as vividly as possible and are impossible to imagine in real life, nor would you even want to even see one.When you realize that the monster(s), biting thru your throat are not the only thing horrific about them, you are then exposed to even more horror.This is a book that I highly recommend, to anyone that loves and is looking for something different in the world of horror but also to anyone that loves a good action story. there is no letting up in this take of nature gone bizarre and insanely wrong.There is so much I want to write about it here, but, I would rather just entice you to read this journey into an event that would be the worst thing to ever become reality.I give this book 5 plus stars.
review 2: OOOOOOOOOh my, what big teeth you have?Oh yeah, loving the title. Simple yet effective, just like the awesome cover. Wowza! Is it a snake monster? Is it a water monster? Is it an alien monster? I open the cover eagerly and hunker down, ready for my journey of anticipation and terror to begin. ^_^ Have you ever heard of Plum Island? You know, the island where they do animal disease research? Or more? The writing is fantastic. Scary, suspenseful and humorous. I’ve heard of driving with eye one when drunk, have you? I couldn’t help but laugh, even though I know it is a big no-no. When Randy saw the monster and thought – What The Hell Is That – so did I. It brings to mind all the wonderful B movies I love to watch. I can hardly wait to find out what it is. I can hear the crash of the waves on shore and smell the heavy salt air. I know it well and love it. I live it, breathe it, so this book is really getting me excited. Thoughts of Jaws comes to mind as I race through the pages. Fast paced and easy reading. I can’t help but chuckle here and there. It is written with a light touch. A horror movie come to life. The Montauk Monster has all the elements of a great horror novel. Will you be a Montauk Monster meal?I borrowed the paperback copy from my sister. less

Don't read this one at night - it'll give you nightmares! Enough gore to satisfy just about anyone.

Loved the book except for the "ending" which is kind of left open for more.
