“Peretti is a genius when it comes to these kinds of books! This book was a little frightening at some parts but it was really good. Read it.”

“I'd give this a better rating, but as usual from Peretti, his ending wasn't so good. But I will say, this book has a great beginning and is pretty scary for awhile..... but just awhile.”

This is one of the best thrillers I have ever read. It constantly keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat... pretty scary as well.”

“Beck is not thrilled to be taking this survival weekend with her husband Reed. She isn’t a big fan of the outdoors, but Reed thinks a wild camping adventure is just the thing to cure her of her nervous stutter. During their first night of camping, a horrifying wail pierced the night. Then something emerges in the darkness and chases them through the forest. The last thing Reed sees is a huge, hairy creature carrying his wife away into the night.

The next morning, a rescue party sets out to track the footprints and a hunting party sets out to bag a huge bear. Reed knows it wasn’t a bear. When a few more mysterious murders pop up, Reed calls a close friend to investigate. No one believes that a big foot monster carried off his wife, but Reed knows what he saw. And the more they discover, the more his theory is supported. But there may be another creature out there who has begun to hunt them.
I LOVED this book! It was such a great premise and handled so well. I loved how Peretti showed Beck’s point of view with her “captor.” I loved seeing her character grow and change just to survive. And then there was the whole mystery to figure out and the awesome nod to God’s amazing ability to create unique species. This is a great read. It’s creepy and scary, so if you don’t like that, steer clear. Otherwise, you must read Monster. It rocks!”
