Randolph Finch is determined to break the cycle. His new rodenticide,
Degenesis, doesn’t kill rats. It sterilizes them from reproducing.
But nothing adapts faster than a New York rat . . .
they know how these rats think. They know how rats breed. And they
fear that Degenesis has only made these rats stronger. More
aggressive. More intelligent. And more ravenous than ever . . .
something strange. Without warning, the rats disappear—only to
reassemble in a massive lair beneath Grand Central Station. Millions
upon millions of them. Working together. Operating as a hive mind.
Feasting on the flesh of the homeless below—and planning their
all-out attack on the unsuspecting humans above . . .
It’s never a dull moment with Hunter’s newest series and I wondered when he’d get around to rats. He wastes no time bringing on the horror.
Exterminators and divorced couple, Chris and Bonita, Benny for short, can’t help but notice the rats are acting peculiar. Normally aggressive when cornered, the rats are actually working together and attacking in packs. It soon becomes complete chaos as they multiply and swarm from the sewers to attack in the streets. The city isn’t prepared. How can anyone be. And it may be too late to stop them.
I always appreciate how this author can create three dimensional characters with so little words. I can picture them so easily with just a sentence or two. But, I know better than to get too attached. You never know who he’ll kill off.
Once the character’s are introduced and the plot is set in motion, it’s ooey gooey fun right to the bloody end. Another winner by Hunter Shea.
I just got my hands on the third book in Hunter’s One Size Eats All series, The Devil’s Fingers. The title gives me scary good vibes.
It’s only some little iguana’s. How bad can it be? Lots. These guys are emerging in record numbers and they aren’t afraid of us. What if there are larger ones? There are. Of course there are. It’s a Hunter Shea book, after all.
The poor little Florida town and it’s inhabitants are reduced to rubble and red smears on the ground once these monsters tear forth from underground. It’s all stompin, rompin, bloody good fun. Just look at the terrific cover and you get the idea.
We’re introduced to the characters. Come to connect with some of them. But, wait for it. Hunter is known for killing off his character’s and these iguana’s need to eat, a lot. So don’t get too attached.
The only niggle I had was the ending felt rushed. The carnage ended so quickly. Would have liked a bit more about it.
The first in a new creature series from Hunter and I can’t wait to see what he brings us next.
movies, reading forbidden books and wishing Bigfoot would walk past
his house. He’s the author of over 17 books, including The
Jersey Devil (Pinnacle 2016)), Tortures of the
Damned (Pinnacle 2015), and We Are Always
Watching (Sinister Grin). Hunter’s novels can even be found on
display at the International Cryptozoology Museum. The Montauk
Monster (Pinnacle 2014) was named one of the best reads of the
summer by Publishers Weekly. He was selected to be part of the
launch of Samhain Publishing’s new horror line in 2011 alongside
legendary author Ramsey Campbell. His video podcast, Monster
Men, is one of the most watched horror podcasts in the world. Living
with his crazy and supportive family and two cats, he’s happy to be
close enough to New York City to see the skyline without having to
pay New York rent.

Love it! I have read one of Hunter’s books, and it was pretty good.
I never pass up on his books. He writes the stuff I love!
No. Horror and rats are not my thing. So no. I’m glad you enjoyed it though. Anne – Books of My Heart
I eat this stuff up. My family shakes their head in confusion. LOL
I saw a review on this last week and was hoping it would be a giveaway. Excited to read his books!
I hope you get a chance to read his books. He’s on my list of must read authors!
I’d be totally willing to get scared by this.
Hunter’s books read fast and always have some good scary bits:)
Stormi and I buddy read this one this month and our review will go up Thursday. I really enjoyed it and actually like the characters more in this one that I did in Jurassic Florida. And I loved it as well. Shea is such an auto-read author for me now.
He’s an auto-read for me too! And I loved his characters in this book. I’ll be coming by to check out both of your reviews. Your buddy reviews are fun. Me and Sherry are going to start doing ours again soon.
Drat. I keep missing some fabulous tours. I would love to have read this one.
sherry @ fundinmental
You’d love this one.
This looks so cool! I actually love rats – I have them as pets – but I love horror too so I’d be prepared to see them as the villains for a good scare lol! Looks great!
My sister used to have them too. It was fun to listen to her describing their different personalities.
I just knew you’d love this one as much as I did 😉
I really did love the character’s in this one. And Hunter gets right down to bloody business too. LOL
