Northwoods

By: Bill Schweigart

Narrated by: Will Damron

Ex-Delta Force Davis Holland, now an agent for Customs and Border Protection, has seen it all. But nothing in his experience has prepared him for what he and the local sheriff find one freezing night in the Minnesota woods.

Investigating reports of an illegal border crossing, the two men stumble across a blood-drenched scene of mass murder, barely escaping with their lives... and a single clue to the mayhem: a small wooden chest placed at the heart of the massacre. Something deadly has entered Holland's territory, crossing the border from nightmare into reality.

When news of the atrocity reaches wealthy cryptozoologist Richard Severance, he sends a three-person team north to investigate. Not long ago, the members of that team - Ben McKelvie, Lindsay Clark, and Alex Standingcloud - were nearly killed by a vengeful shapeshifter. Now they are walking wounded, haunted by gruesome memories that make normal life impossible. But there is nothing normal about the horror that awaits in the Northwoods.

Critic reviews

"With its vivid descriptions and realistic but sympathetic characterizations, Northwoods will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned." ( New York Journal of Books)

Good story. Not ground breaking, but a good, fun romp.

Writing is very solid, dialogue is smooth (this is rare and essential to a good immersive book) and characters are well developed and believable. Story gets a little far fetched (very quickly), but if you like supernatural and fantasy, you'll enjoy this high pace, well written, good vs evil escape into what could be...

great listen!!!

love this author and narrator i highly recommend it!cant wait to listen to the third of this trilogy!

I love this narrator

I have purposely looked up books that are narrated by Will Damron so I can enjoy his telling and I am pleased with that choice. I love how he uses different voices/tones for each of the characters and how he puts the emotion of the scenes into it as well.

A roller coaster of HUH????

The story was all over the place and it wasn't until the last hour do you realize where the author is trying to get too. If you're looking for action thriller this is not it.

long, long, long narrative

struggled with the story and the length and the repitions. way too long and a tad tiring
