Snow Dragon

by John Coon

An ancient monster has awakened from a deep slumber beneath Deer Falls. It is hungry and humans are on the menu. Will the monster drive the small Colorado town to extinction? Enduring aftershocks are the least of Evan Duggan's worries after an earthquake rocks Deer Falls. When he is called in to examine partially devoured remains of a local teacher, Evan uncovers evidence of a new reptilian species. This creature is unlike anything else he has encountered as a wildlife biologist. It is massive, terrifying, and lethal. Marie Duggan, his wife, is a podcaster who uncovers once-forgotten legends related to the mysterious creature. What she learns is a nightmare come to life. The creature is a vehicle of vengeance and a relentless killer. As dead bodies pile up and disappearances increase around town, Evan and Marie must protect themselves and their son Casey while ending the threat facing Deer Falls. Can they destroy the monster before it devours everyone in its path? Snow Dragon is a chilling prequel to the popular horror novel Pandora Reborn . If you like terrifying monsters, ancient folklore, and small town horror, you'll devour this latest frightening tale from John Coon.

I liked the main characters and of course the snow dragon, the history and setting was really good.
I just felt it needed more of a sense of urgency, for example in the beginning when people are killed, there is no real sense of panic or horror, it's just kind of, "okay, let's research this", which did interest me but it took me a little longer to get into it.
