Monstrous

In the shadow of Mount Everest, a legendary creature is captured, setting off a chain of events that will shake the world. Transported across the United States, the creature’s arrival in Red Oak National Park disrupts the delicate balance of a wilderness harboring secrets far older than legend.

Ranger Colton Wade has spent years protecting what lurks within the park, but when a single blurry photo leaks online, it draws cryptozoologists, thrill-seekers, and opportunists—each chasing their own version of the truth. Among them is Kaci Monroe, a determined researcher seeking redemption and answers buried in the past.

As chaos erupts and unseen forces collide, Wade and Kaci must fight to protect the line between myth and reality. But in a battle where greed, survival, and nature’s fury collide, one question lingers—who are the real monsters?

With its blend of thrilling encounters, character-driven storytelling, and themes of humanity’s exploitation of nature, Monstrous delivers a story that is as gripping as it is reflective, leaving readers questioning who the real monsters are. This novel’s layered exploration of cryptozoology and suspense sets it apart, making it an unforgettable read for lovers of the unknown.
