Hunters come in droves but the beast proves itself too big and too cunning, using its fearsome teeth and claws to destroy the intruders. Many die and blood is spilled by the gallon, but has the beast met its match when a park ranger, an average joe, and a trail expert come together to predict where the beast will attack next?
Rawr Reviews

What a fun story! I liked the characters and was a little miffed at the ones who died vs the ones who live. But, that is good storytelling, isn't it?
Loved the bear, loved the imagery, and thought the plot moved along quickly. I wasn't overly impressed with the beginning but it all got tied up at the end.
Did not want the book to end but I suppose the bear can only kill so many people before it becomes redundant. I'm so glad I decided to buy the book - it was an impulse buy. OK, maybe it was a little predictable but who cares? I was entertained and that is why I read this type of book. -
A fun, short page turner with gory giant bear attacks galore. It’s a little rough around the the edges but is exciting and often clever. Definitely worth a read for those who like pulp style adventure or horror (I definitely fall in that category).

The first thing you'll notice about this one is that the cover kicks ass. And, really, it tells you all you need to know: man versus giant bear. It's not really possible for that to go wrong, and if you've been there before, you'll know that Eddie Generous and Severed Press make a good team.
The end result is a B-Movie-inspired creature feature full of Eddie's colourful characters and tongue-in-cheek prose. As you'd expect, it's nice and violent, and no one is safe from the slaughter so it keeps you guessing there too.
Great fun. -
A gory quick read with plenty of corpses to go around.
It didnt quite grab me as i thought it would though. The characters were typical fodder for a beast and i couldn't really have cared if they lived or died.
No twists, just a straight up creature feature. I prefer the creature to be mysterious but you know what it is right from the beginning. I actually felt sorry for it. -
I love creature feature stories! In this story though, I feel sorry for the bear. After an ancient world event takes place a prehistoric bear is transported to the modern world, scared, confused and hungry. This bear tries to establish new territory with terrifying results. Stacy Hill, a professional hiker first to confront the beast reports the first killings and the hunt is on! Some of the story is written in the bears point of view which I liked! Gory, fast paced and filled with unusual characters, the story is both entertaining as well as stomach turning, lots of blood and body parts, but what’s a hungry beast suppose to do? 4 stars as the end wraps up predictably but that’s okay as the story had reached it’s end anyway. If your in the mood for something not supernatural but something super wrong in nature, look no further! Recommended!!

An ancient creature is transported to our day an age, causing chaos, fear, and destruction.
This was an entertaining horror novella. It reminded me of some B movies, with lots of gore, a beast that no one can describe accurately, and expendable characters. The character development is not the book’s strongest point. I found that there are too many characters for a book this length. While I was listening, I tried to keep up with all the names, just to discern who was going to be important in the story. In the end, no one really is, though, and the characters are just used to describe a bunch of terrible incidents. I get that this was done on purpose, to create different points of view and transmit the horror and chaos that this beast has created, I am just not sure this has worked for me. What I liked was that all characters had their imperfections and quirks, which made them real to my eyes. I have to say that I had a great time with this book, and I found it easy and quick to enjoy, like a B movie, of which I am also a fan.
I found Christian J. Gilliland’s narration a bit distracting at first. The constant intakes of breath made me anxious until I got used to it. I think a cleaner audio production would have helped here. Some character’s voices were okay but others were overdone, making them sound a bit strident. I usually prefer more subtle differences between the characters’ voices, but I think Gilliland was effective in making them sound different, which is always a win.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. -
Do you know why I am not afraid of being grabbed by a 🦈 Shark? I don't go to beaches, out on boats, scuba diving - nothing that might put me in their path. The same goes for Bears. As I've gotten older I've grown more cautious. I don't traipse out in the woods or go camping. I have great memories of doing so but none of those memories involve Bears, especially Mama Bears with cubs. While I've learned these lessons, hundreds of thousands people continue to enjoy going to the beach, surfing, scuba diving, and camping/hiking in the woods.
So what happens when a huge Bear like creature awakens and begins to roam a rather popular hiking and camping locale? There is an eyewitness to the havoc the beast exhibits but no one believes her. Until savage attacks continue and the finding of partially eaten body parts redeem the reputation of the witness. Now the hunt is on professionals and amateurs. All are tasty to the huge creature in the woods. I see myself reading this book again. -
Fun in a straight to video kind of way
I love these kinds of books. This reads like a script for a SyFy channel movie. Take the Jaws formula and replace the shark with a bear, add in some interesting thought processes for said bear and you have Rawr.
Is this a masterpiece? Not at all but it made me laugh, helped me meet my Kindle Unlimited quota and didn't cost me anything. I would say it did just what I wanted it to do by cleansing my mental palate. -
Review to come

Eddie Generous brings us a Cave Bear from the Ice Age to maim and destroy modern times. This is an interesting fast paced action book. Lots of violence and death from a cunning prehistoric monster bear. Cave bears did in fact exist the same time as humans did so I bet our ancestors stories would be hair raising too. Something about getting stalked and eaten strikes a cord. entertaining read.
