Macaque Attack: Nature's Nightmares

by Staci Layne Wilson, Andy Garrison (Narrator)

When a movie crew abandoned thirty-seven crab-eating macaques in the Florida Everglades decades ago, the local residents of Cypress Grove thought they’d gained harmless tourist attractions.

They were wrong.

Dr. McKenna Dubrow, the town’s veterinarian, discovers the horrifying truth when the macaques begin exhibiting unprecedented intelligence—using tools, coordinating attacks, and leaving behind cryptic symbols that suggest something far more sinister than natural evolution.

How do you fight an enemy that learns from every encounter, adapts to every strategy, and thinks three moves ahead?

As the macaques systematically isolate Cypress Grove, McKenna realizes these creatures harbor dark secrets about their true origins. With the town under siege and escape routes blocked, she must protect her teenage daughter while uncovering a conspiracy that reaches back decades. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that what’s happening in Cypress Grove was no accident.

Something changed these animals. Something that was never meant to be unleashed. In a world where the line between civilization and savagery dissolves, who is really the apex predator?

Reviews

[Jess Beedle · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think this is an unfair review but I only give two stars because I listened on audio book! I think If I was reading on kindle or paper back I would have enjoyed this more. Definitely willing to try on kindle and re review

[Karm Barter · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t get the low review. That was super fun. It was creative. Made me not want to stop listening. It would have been terrific as a graphic audio though.

This was good, I just didn't like the angle that it took at end. I enjoyed reading it though and would read more books by the author. It should have a higher overall rating.
