Oh wow! A fast paced, suspenseful and thrilling book about werewolves! There's folklore mythology, science and romance.. Jam packed is the right word!

I've never read anything that are about lycanthropes so I only know a little about them (thanks to Harry Potter) All I know is that they're shapeshifters and that they don't look very nice. I was really entranced by this world that Janice made. When we think about werewolves... we automatically think of a sappy romance book (which is not that bad) But don't you wish you want it with more substance? More action and less cheesiness? Well, Predator got you covered!

Bree noticed a change to her father since her brother Troy died so she went to Ireland with him with a hope that their relationship will come back to normal. In Ireland, she found warmth in Liam, a mysterious bog body with a missing hand and a group of people that she thought only exists in folklores and myths.

I really liked Janice's writing. Very simple and yet thrilling. She doesn't hold back when it comes to details. Whether she's describing Liam's lips or the gory details of a dead body, she's very good at it. Bree is character to like even though she can be too stubborn at some times. She's kick ass, too curious about things and really brave. Bree is not the only one to like here though. Liam, her father, Kelsi.. all of them are pretty intriguing and well written! I also loved that the romance here isn't too aggressive. It's subtle which makes it more sweet.

I'm not sure yet but I really hope that this will be a series.. that ending left me hanging! So.. if you want your book with a kick butt heroine, a heart melting romance with a thrilling storyline, Predator is for you

There better be a sequel... It can't end like that. I want more! I want to know more. The only werewolf stories I read are from Wattpad so I took a huge chance in reading this story and I am not disappointed. Predator takes us on a whole different level of werewolves. Not only that, it involves scientific data that had me reeled in—as soon as the story started, it gives the reader a scientific fill that is fascinating to read. I am not one to like many scientific-related things but with Predator it was so easy to understand and like-able enough to want to keep reading, to want to know more about this type of werewolves. Plus, this story got us into the Benandanti, which is an actual belief that I didn't even know existed and learned a lot from reading the book.

Fans of werewolf stories will get a different fill, a different and unique story with Predator and they won't be disappointed.
