Insatiable #2
Crackers
Six years has passed since the catastrophic blizzard descended on idyllic Askergan County, and most residents have spent this time convincing themselves that the evil that blew in with the storm never existed. But it does exist... and it's not done with Askergan just yet.
It was the annual Father and Son fishing trip, a time to enjoy the simpler things in life... to ditch cell phones and internet and to learn how to gut and cook fish. A time to tell campfire stories and to roast marshmallows.
But for Kent Griddle and his teenage friends Tyler, Baird, and Sergio, it's also a time to sneak a few drinks and smoke a few cigarettes.
A time to wander in the woods; to explore.
Which would be fine in most towns.
But Askergan is not like most towns... Askergan has secrets. And as Kent and his misfit band of friends are about to find out, that there are certain places in Askergan that should be left alone. Because for six years Askergan's secrets have laid dormant... brooding, waiting to be awakened...
Crackers is the second book in the gritty horror-thriller series Insatiable. If you like coming of age stories in which realistic, flawed characters are thrust into unspeakable situations with life-threatening outcomes, then you will enjoy Logan’s exploration of how every decision we make—and even the ones we don’t—comes with a price.
*Crackers includes the first three chapters of the third book in the Insatiable Series: Flesh*

True story: I used to cut up bodies. No, not for fun, you sickos–for work. After reaching the age of majority and fleeing the clutches of an overprotective mother, I went to university like a good boy.
More than a decade later and an alphabet soup of letters after my name, I found myself looking down the double-chamber of a microscope at an eyeball. Feeling ironically introspective, I decided that it was time for a change.
After seventy plus novels and more than a million copies sold, I’ve found my true calling, one that also includes a plethora of letters. Hopefully you see something in my catalog that you like, something to feast your eyes on.
I also have two spooky podcasts that are appropriate for ALL ages, so long as you like to be scared: P.T. Logan's Five Minutes of Terror and Camp Fear. Both are FREE and available on all podcast platforms. For MATURE audiences, I've created two fiction podcasts, Nightmare Residue and Bad Priest.

Second in series...just as adult rated as the first. Satiated in the "insatiable" series but not really satisfied. I'm always intrigued in this genre but I can only handle so much swearing. That's just a heads up if you like this genre also. Don't think I'll continue with this series.
Here's a snippet: "What happened next occurred in near complete darkness. First, Steff heard a crack as the phone landed on the basement floor, then she heard a giant whoosh of air."

This is the second book in the Insatiable Series. That is about all I can say about this book. Literally about 17 chapters and 152 pages. It was short, and not much time for story development. Everything was boring and not much happened until the last few chapters. I did love the first book Skin in this series so I may continue, but only because I want to know where it is going. I will say though if the next one is as boring and useless in continuing this story line as this one was I will be stopping at that one. I have too much on my to read list to waste time.

Moments of excitement
More of an adult read. Again, hard to follow at times like the first book. Really need a better editor as phrasing is repeated and contains poor grammar. Overall, I still like the concept of this series. Just wish it were worded differently in parts that distracted me from what was happening in the story.

This is a short story, a sort of interlude, of book 1 titled Skin. It’s a tad slow in the beginning, but only for the buildup for book 2.
Once the stupid kids get “stupider” through the bullying of Tyler - a so-called friend and troubled teen- they find themselves in a life or death situation, where death gruesomely prevails.
On to book 3!
Cheers

I never get tired of these books. Must be something wrong with my mind. But mr. Logan says you keep reading and ill keep writing. Thats the easiest deal I've ever made.

Continuing Horror
Crackers follow Skin and is aptly named. The continuation of this story is every bit as horrifying as the beginning. The characters are in depth and life like. A fantastic read...Sith the lights on.

I read it because I spent the time reading the first one in the series.. Skin. This one is a little easier to follow than the first one. Not really my sort of thing, but not terrible.

Building the storyline
This was a little drawn out, but out kept me up because I had to know what happened next. Quick overall read and know I'm ready for the next one.

Really enjoying this series. I like how they keep it in the same location and players. Fast becoming one of my favorite authors.

After I read Mother, I was ready to be freaked out when I read Skin, the first in this Insatiable series. But the story was slow, there were a lot of obvious spell check word errors, and by the time I was 75% into it, it got gross and over the top ick.
Having said that, I almost didn't read Crackers, but what the heck. It started right after Skin and it pulled me into the story and kept my attention right to the end. I really liked it. One thing positive that I can say about Skin is that it provided a lot of background information for Crackers that would have been missed if I just read Crackers first.
I liked Crackers a lot and am now reading the preview for Parasite, which sounds just as good as Crackers. I can hardly wait.
Thanks, Patrick. I might not have gotten into your series if you had not sent Mother as a freebie, or almost free, I don't remember.

Get thee an editor post haste.
I enjoyed Skin, the first book in this series. Sadly, I couldn't even struggle through the prologue due to the terrible grammar, missing words, incorrectly sexed characters, switching tenses, incomplete sentences that make no sense-- did the author publish a first draft by mistake? Even a friend or partner should be able to spot edit, there is absolutely no excuse for such atrocious and bountiful mistakes. This might be the best book in the world but because my eyes are bleeding ill never know.

Disappointed
The first book in this series was spectacular. It seems like the author went on vacation and let his kid write this second book. The characters are cliche. The entire camping trip is irrelevant. It seems this book was slapped together quickly. Glaring errors. For example they were camping on an inland 'lake' and the tide came in. Huh! The story didn't really begin until about 70% into it. Very disappointed.

Having read Skin I was prepared to be scared and icked out all over again. While there are certainly some gross moments this sequel rests more on suspense and it does so well. I kept wondering what was going to happen and at the same time you know something is coming. Enjoyable read. So grateful I don't have a basement.

A great follow up to the first book in the series, Skin. It was nice to have a few of the characters in this book that were also in the first book, so it has the cohesion between the two. As someone who has a fear of the dark and dark spaces, this one had me in chills. Another great read. Onto book 3 in the series.

Short but good
First half was about 3 men and sons plus a friend camping and fishing. It was interesting but really picked up the second half. The boys left after dark to explore and get scared. What they found and happened was not what they wanted. Read Skin first.

Too short. Just as things get interesting, the story ends.
I wish there had been more of a story. It seemed incomplete. I realize it is a series, however, it left too many questions unanswered. It was too short.
