I read this book as a standalone and I still really enjoyed it. I love a good murder mystery and this one was well done, with a touch of paranormal. Morgan Carter, a cryptozoologist is called to investigate the Beast of Bray road, who is suspected to have killed a woman. From there, the investigation took place and it was really interesting to read. It did get a bit long in the middle as I usually like a bit more action, but the ending definitely made up for it. I was definitely surprised by the reveal of the killer which I enjoyed. Looking back, there was a lot of foreshadowing that I missed, so that was very clever from the author. I think I’ll go back and read the previous book because I got attached to Morgan. I hope there are more books in the series!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an arc of this book. Opinions are my own.
