Alex barely survived his first encounter with the monster in the creek. But now, he's in the hospital, the monster is free and killing people, and no one believes his story about what happened at his uncle's ranch.
He wants this to be over. The last thing he wants is to face Old Susie again. But, since no one else will take him seriously, Alex quickly realizes he has to take matters into his own hands. He has to find and kill Susie himself, or else die trying.
In this second book of The Monstrous Cycle, Alex will have to face his greatest fears, learn to deal with suspicion and doubt, and deal with the changes happening in his own body.
