If I had to describe this book in one word, it would be chaotic. The premise was interesting enough: Moe (sorry, every time I pictured the Simpsons' Moe in my head) manages to convince his estranges son Jake to come back home. Some elusive predator is killing off livestock and Moe is afraid things will start to get worse. Jake - along with some friends - heads on back home, to try to help his father out.
The plotline is mostly fine, but sometimes there seems to be a more or less chaotic jump and an error here and there. My main peeve were the characters. I never really clicked with any of them and sometimes you really wonder if they have their priorities straight. As a result, the dialogue seemed unnatural at times as well. The ending was partially rushed and...well...weird.
Unfortunate, because it definitely had promise.

don’t waste your time
I have read dozens and dozens of bigfoot books. Sometimes Bigfoot kills people, sometimes Bigfoot befriends people. Not at all uncommon for the genre.
However Bigfoot raping women sorry game over. Then once raped and quickly going through gestation ( like in a day) being hung upside down, having parties ripped off then cut down through her genitals until she was disemboweled….beyond disgusting and pointless.
Add to that some good old fashioned misogyny and that sums up this book.
“She found that God created her, a beautiful woman, only to be tempted by the devil with sensual desires.” Please men took advantage because they can’t control their desires as did the big beast. Pathetic. Nothing like blaming the victim.

While I would love a new cryptid story to follow, the Bog Beast didn’t deliver. It feels poorly conceived, as if the author did not have a plan for the story. The characters were all a bit cliche, the beast(s) were not believable, and the horror/suspense just never really happened. Add a completely unnecessary and rather lecherous sex scene and you have the perfect recipe for A Book To Avoid.
Cannot recommend.

The first 48% of the book seemed to drag. I almost stopped reading. I am so glad I didn't give up. There was so much going in this novel. The introduction of characters was kinda boring but after going back to Moe's town / farm after his call for help to his son.
Then suddenly you had to hold on tightly as you strapped in for a wild rollercoaster ride as a monster terrorized a small town. Some trigger warnings: gore, violence, assault, and vindictive monsters.

Quite a different monster. Good story. Had me on the edge of my seat for a while. I noticed a few inconsistencies. I won't mention them because, if you don't catch them, no harm done. I was surprised by the cliff-hanger ending. Killing the beasts will be more difficult than the reader knew at first. Get the national guard

Horrible
This story was all over the place, many parts did not make sense, would not recommend , I only finished it to see if it was just a joke.

Although there were a few things about the book I enjoyed, there was too much of what I did not. This book just wasn't my cup of tea.
