The creatures plan to destroy the world as we know it, and it’s up to Teddi and Swamp Jack to stop them. The clock is ticking…
Monsters and aliens galore. Lots of action and suspense. This is the third book in the Teddi McCoy series and is great. Do not miss this exciting book.
This book was a bit of a disappointment to me. I mean it just couldn't really make up its mind what it wants to be. At first it seems to be a straight up creature story with the ever popular Big Foot. Then it starts to be a voodoo story. Next you have an element of shadowy government agents with a separate agenda from the main characters. Finally it take a turn into good old science fiction with aliens. Oh then there is the angst of the two main characters wrestling with their feelings for each other. Now I did enjoy the story don't get me wrong, but I just want a straightforward good old monster fest in a book titled Creatures. That is not what happened here it was a little bit of everything, but I will say the author got it to work together just not like I wanted to work. If I was giving another book by this author to read I would probably read it. So if you like your stories that have a dash of everything in them this just might be a book for you.
The Teddi McCoy series continues to delight. Creatures is wonderful! It is filled with imaginative creatures and the story is full of twists and turns and suspense!
