Four "Creature Action Packed" Stars
What Lies Within The Desert?
A small taste of what lies within:
Sebastian McAlister (Seb) gets into a shootout right outside of Las Vegas with a gang of thugs and Seb ends up getting shot, but he does escape their clutches in his turbo Charger heading into the desert. He passes out at some point from blood loss and when he wakes up he is in a village of sorts with a bunch of people where they are all contained within huge walls.
A man named Earl patched up Seb and Seb finally makes his way around the village as he learns that everyone there never leaves or goes outside the walls because if they do then they will be killed by a creature that roams the desert, so they just stay where they are with no chance of escape. Seb though has other plans as he decides that living within the walls will not be his fate and he wants to get back to his life, so he devises a plan of how to get out of there creature or no creature as he will not go down without a fight!
That is about all I can hand out with a small taste without giving away spoilers so if you want to know more then go read this book!
Thoughts:
This was a very creative story line and a different type of horror story as it has a fun creature feature romp along with bullets zipping too! There is quite a bit of action right away in the first chapter which sets the pace for this story.
There are quite a few characters in the story line as well which I will not go into detail on them, but all of them have a story to tell and they just blend in so well within the story that I really liked each one.
The story flows along at a quick pace when Seb finds out about the creature and sets his plan into motion of leaving the village. The story is then driven up a notch as the pace picks up and I found myself having a hard time putting the book down as I wanted to see if Seb was going to be able to complete the mission that he had set for himself. Another great book by this author and Jason Parent never disappoints.
