TASK FORCE E: THE VALLEY
Rhiannon Merriman didn’t believe in monsters—not until she went to work for multimillionaire Jacob Stone, founder of an isolated Alaska sanctuary where the strangest creatures in existence had been gathered for preservation and study. After years of training and working with sasquatches, dogmen, lake monsters and other “cryptids” she was willing to admit their existence. But surely these beasts were only freaks of nature, nothing more.
Then Stone is abducted by a creature out of nightmare, and Rhiannon finds herself joining an unlikely expedition to rescue him. A journey that will take her and her companions to a mysterious hidden valley, where a strange entity pursues a sinister agenda to retake the world for an entirely new class of beings.
Luckily, the men traveling with her are part of an elite team, one that understands cryptids better than anyone else in the world. Brilliant, headstrong, and unpredictable as the quarry they seek. Four men who call themselves Task Force E.

What an absolute waste of time
This trilogy was utter trash. Whoever the author used as an editor should be fired. Or if there wasn't an editor, the author should get one so they can tell him his writing sucks. There's huge sections of the book that are missing that could've provided better explanations or context. Instead, what we're left with is a fragmented jumbled mess of a book about a group of people who go hiking in Alaska and end up in another dimension facing off against a fallen angel and cryptids. 75% of the book is about the group walking through the woods, chasing after the kidnapped bad guy from the first two books. Somehow the author made cryptids boring. There's a sode story about a general, a senator, and his wife following their daughter Rhi, and somehow make up that distance in less than a day, despite Rhi and the others walking for days. The mother just runs off into the woods filled with cryptids who the author can't decide either kidnapped her or are fine with her being there. The senator follows and is dispatched quickly by dogmen. The team and Rhi, who is clearly now the main character, meet up with the bad guy, who has somehow been transformed by a fallen angel. The team somehow figures out how to defeat the bad guy in seconds and poof he's gone, the world is saved, and seriously what just happened. There's so many things that are brought up but never explained. Even Lost wasn't this bad. If the author reads this review, please for the love of God, do not write another book without getting an editor who can walk you through the writing process. This trilogy was absolutely awful and a huge waste of my time
