Northwoods

I received a copy of this book through Net Galley.Bill Schweigart knows how to write a good monster story. Is that how you would describe this book? Creature-horror-action-adventure, maybe. [b:The Beast of Barcroft 25300888 The Beast of Barcroft Bill Schweigart https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1442245408s/25300888.jpg 45028658] was a really enjoyable read, and I'm happy to say that this sequel is a worthy addition to what looks to be a series. For all the action, genuinely creepy bits of horror, and interesting takes on some creature myths, what makes both Northwoods and its predecessor a cut above schlocky action-horror fare is the characterization. This author writes characters that are distinctive, developed, and fun to spend time with (not to mention diverse without a big show being made of it). That is what made both of these novels so fun to read, or at least more fun than they would have been otherwise.Now to wait for book 3.
