Devoured
What started out as an ordinary camping trip quickly turns dark when a group of teenagers hits the quirky, wooded town of Escape, Colorado. Known for its hiking trails and legends about a shifting creature that lives in the woods, the teens never expected to come face to face with it. But that was then.
This is now.
It’s tall. It has razor-like teeth. Its tangled claws have a reach longer than its rectangular face.
And confronted with a monster unlike anything the teens have ever read about, they have two choices: outsmart or be devoured…

Holy freaky
Ok that was horrific but so good. If I watched that in movie format, I wouldn't sleep for a week.

When you go camping and hear that twig break when it's dark and you are in your tent, panic sets in because you don't know what's out there.... Rena Marin has taken that fear a step farther and brought us one spooky story that will leave you looking over your shoulder every time you hear something in the woods from now on. Take a trip with Billy who already lost his younger brother to the beast in the hills. Now his friends are camping up in the exact same spot Billy and his brother were and they invited him to stay with them. What they expect and what they get are two completely different things and nobody is prepared for the horrendous things that are about to happen to them. The end will have your brain wondering if that really just happened! I enjoyed reading Devoured so much that I devoured this book up in one sitting. I can't wait to see what Rena Marin comes up with next

Marin always does a fantastic job of giving me the creeps, and Devoured was no different. A group of kids off camping in the woods trying to unwind, but something out there has other plans for them. Little do they know unwinding will be the last thing they get to do. Once Billy was discovered, what happened next blew my mind. And again towards the end with Shantia. Can you say FREAKY?! All I could do was read faster and faster to see how all of this ended. Marin nails the ending with something completely unexpected.

The cover of this book was absolutely stunning in a chilling kind of way. The prologue was intense, scary, and powerful thus pulling me right into the story. I could already tell that this would be a terrifying and entertaining addition to the Escape series. The pace and flow of the story were terrific and that ending left me speechless!

Well thanks to Rena Marin when I'm out hiking I'll be wondering what made the leaves rustle or tig snap. She did an awesome job of bringing the monster and horrors to life. I always look forward for the next story she has spinning around in her head!

Tears for the love ones
Devoured was a very good book to read. I was so saddened with how clay died and try to save tess. Had to act like the cold weather was giving me sniffles. But at the end it looks like tess may have a plan to go back to that monster that is clay.
