First up in my month of reading nothing but horror written by women in celebration of Women in Horror Month. This was a really good story. Loved the creatures and the characters were strong. A lot of violence and fun from the beginning until the end.

I've read nearly everything Kelli Owen has released so far and have been looking forward to reading Live Specimens for a while now - especially after she said that it should be gorier than he normal works.
The story takes place in a small town preparing for an upcoming blizzard; when people start dying from vicious animal attacks - although these are not normal animals - these are genetically altered killing machines - smarter, faster and deadlier. Who, if any, will survive the blizzard and the attacks.
The character in the book are good and the story is fast paced from the beginning with plenty of action and death all of the way through which made this a real page turner for me. Over the years I've read a fair few 'monster/animal on a rampage' books but this has to be one of my favourites as I really enjoyed the uniqueness of the animals.
Overall if your a fan of the horror genre and would like to read something with plenty of mayhem and action then you will enjoy this. 4.5/5
