Government experiment… genetically engineered hybrid creature transported through Colorado by only two men, it’s cold… nothing can go wrong.
Except it does, then carnage ensues.
The hybrid leaves a trail of viscera for those lucky few that are charged to track it down… spoilers…. I won’t.
I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, the armed forces/government aspects usually kill a book for me, but this one was done in a way that I didn’t mind it. There are a few moments where I was like ahh seen that coming, but the more in depth you get the more twisted things become. Definitely recommend it to the sci-fi horror crowd.
I give it five rockets… read the book and you’ll get it

"The beast hesitated, experiencing conflicting emotions for the first time in its savage life."
It's a blustery winter, the roads are icy, and traveling becomes risky as a blizzard hits in full force. As NORAD is transporting top secret cargo, a car accident ensues unleashing a monstrous, brutal killing machine. This creature is an enhanced hybrid protected by the government and they are now on the hunt to capture the beast.
The town of Mangus Pass is now in great peril as the ghastly beast is on a killing spree, leaving a bloody trail in its wake, no one is safe that crosses its path. Torn limbs, spewing guts, decapitated heads, and death in huge numbers.

More and more secrets are revealed and they are not very pleasant, almost making one feel just as upset and angered by the acts the government have done to create such a monster. It all goes wrong and now it's up to all involved to clean up the mess.
If you are a fan of fast paced creature-features, leaving you on edge, with lots of blood, guts and gore, this is a book you will surely enjoy. Very entertaining! An adrenaline rush!
(I have to include that when I came to page 174......MY JAW DROPPED AND I WAS GASPING IN HORROR!)
Many surprises and the ending will leave you wanting more!

The Night It Got Out was a fun creature feature.
The story is fairly standard as far as these types of stories go. This one has a military slant and I liked that portion of the story the most. I liked the imagination of the author as to how the creature was created and implemented. (That's as much as I can say without spoilers.)
Once the creature does get out, (as you might suspect from the title), lots of gory action ensues. These sections were fun, but got rather tiresome after a while. Lots of killing is pretty standard for these types of tales, but there was no real connection for me to most of the characters in this book, so I wasn't pulling for them and I really couldn't care less.
I thought the end of the story was well done, but The Night It Got Out didn't add anything new to creature features or the horror genre, in general, and for that reason I gave it 3 stars.
It was fun and fast paced, with a good ending so your mileage may vary.
