Lousy Ending
The book just jumped around too much and did not paint the scenes well. The characters were a little better. This is my first book from this author. If I did not see his other books while getting to the review page; I would thought he was a rookie. This book just feels half baked and not done in my opinion

Why was that?
I usually like this Author's stories, but this one just confused me! I'm not even sure what the plot was about?

Confusing
I normally like reading Ike Hamill’s books. This was one I just couldn’t follow. He writes very other worldly stuff and this one was definitely other worldly- almost too much so. He commented at the end that it was supposed to be simple but ended up being complicated. As always the characters are well developed but I have to say the plot was hard to follow and the monster as well. The story kept me engaged but I didn’t understand the ending. The book will keep you drawn in so I recommend reading to the end and perhaps you will figure out the end.

Points for the plot
I thought the plot was inventive; but needed a little refinement. I like how the author shares how he arrived at the idea. While I liked the characters, I thought they and the scene settings cloud have been better developed. I liked the reoccurring theme of the Hawaiian guys.

Listened for free on Audible.
The best part about this book was that it was free. And the good thing abut the ending was that I didn't have to listen to it any more.
I did like the concept of the Hawaiian agents, and if they find an alternate world hopefully they get a better story than this. Go fry an egg instead.

Great idea for a creepy story!
This story took place from a few different character's perspectives, which all eventually came together by the end to try to solve the mystery of what the super apex predator actually was. Two scientists, a tech and programmer, and a few people attempting a business robbery all ended up in the same business park, which happened to be the preferred hunting area/kill zone/territory of a creature so far evolved it was impossible to detect. A team of X-files type government agents are thrown into the mix to create even more obstacles, as they also research and try to use this creature for their own purposes. Loved it!

Monsters and Mayhem
I would describe Super Apex as a good old fashioned monster story, but it is that and so much more. A unique story line with interesting characters and superb descriptions. An all around great story with some great twists and turns.

Interesting story
The story was different and the super apex was different. Characters were interesting and different. Will read more of his stories.

Saw this author on a tv show so I thought I’d try his book - it was much more enjoyable than I expected!

June 3, 2024I had to put this down. I listened to nearly 70% and could not say what the plot was about!! Definitely not for me.

One of my favorite aspects of this book is a group of (law enforcement?) wearing Hawaiian shirts, flip-flops, and so on. Little details like shells denote rank. They’re highly serious, which is such a great counterpoint to the silliness they engender in others. Marvelous way to ratchet down the tension with a touch of comedy when necessary.
The characters are present all for different reasons and with different aims, which keeps things hopping! I got a little confused by all the twisting lines of plot, but I still very much enjoyed the story. In particular I wanted to understand more of this: “I know why some of us exist in multiple realities and why you don’t.”
I really enjoyed this tale; I just felt like it needed to go that little bit further in order to fall into place.

Super Apex by Ike Hamill was a very good book. A good, meat and potatoes, monster story! I noticed that there were some familiar characters in the book...and wondered if the books were tie ins...but they weren't. It was kind of cool though, having some repeat characters, kind of gave the book a "life", kind of made his other books feel like a "family." I'm not sure what the monster is/was but I absolutely loved the way it ended.

This was a very fascinating novel. Mr. Hamill is a great monster writer. You can always expect something new and interesting. I liked that this novel took place of the space of a very short amount of time. This story didn`t have a huge cast of characters, but they were all interesting and fit together well. I loved the ending. Ike Hamill has quickly become one of my favorite authors.
