Chainsaw Teeth
Jasper and Eddie are on a road trip with their friends from college to a cabin in the Appalachian Mountains. While there, they plan on partying, hunting, and enjoying their time away from the rest of the world. However, the friends run into a family of cannibals while out hunting. The family kills some of them and takes the rest hostage at their house in the woods. Jasper and Eddie try to figure out a way to escape, but while doing so, they discover that the family has a dark secret, something far darker than them just being cannibals.

A group of five friends are on their way to go camping in the Appalachian mountains, when they stop at a gas station; they are warned by the old man at the register that people tend to go missing up there in that area. He says the reasons range from legends of a wendigo to a cannibal family. It turns out the legends are right.
The next day after arriving, Cassie stays at the cabin to relax while Jasper and Eddie, and Timmy and Amanda each go out hunting in pairs. Not long after, Jasper and Eddie run back to the cabin, frantic - demanding the car keys. They rush to explain two men armed with a bow and an axe got Timmy and Amanda, and are after them next. They can't get a signal to call for help, and on top of that, quickly find the car tires have been shot with arrows.
The men, Oscar and Pat belong to a family of cannibals and were out in the woods, hunting for food. They can't believe their good luck - five whole humans to bring back to not just the family, but the... Thing in their basement that never seems to get full.
The men capture the three remaining friends and chain them in the basement, along with one other man captured recently as well.
Will the friends manage to avoid becoming dinner for the family? And even if they do escape the humans, there's still the issue of the otherworldly beast locked up in the sub-basement to get past.

My first book from the author and I liked it, but I definitely wouldn't have minded a longer book, to get more details and background.

Whoa
I very much enjoyed this unique creature story! Fast paced, full of tension and with a creature unlike anything I've ever heard of before. I kind of liked the cannibal family more than the other characters. My only complaint is What happens now???

4.5 ⭐
It was a fun little read! Took a little longer than expected because I picked up something else and let this go by the wayside.
DJ does a great job of making you feel and visualize the terror these poor campers had to face. Without any spoilers - the ending was very appropriate for the situation but the enjoyment I had reading it made me want it to go on a bit longer.
In Chapter 10 there were references of “Casey” - was this just a typo or a reference to another character or the little girl? I had to read that chapter again a few times to try and make sense of it.
