Terror Mountain
When Marcus Pike inherits his grandfather’s farm and moves his family out to the country, he has no idea there’s an unholy terror running rampant about the mountainous farming community. Sheriff Avery Anderson has seen the heinous carnage and the mutilated bodies. He’s also seen the giant footprints left in the snow—Bigfoot tracks. Meanwhile, Cole Wagner, and his wife, Kate, are prospecting their gold claim farther up the valley, unaware of the impending dangers lurking in the woods as an early winter storm sets in. Soon the snowy countryside will run red with blood on TERROR MOUNTAIN.

I’ve clearly been on a bigfoot binge today. And I’m checking out new authors like Gerry Griffiths, who got my attention just now with Terror Mountain. The book pulls a rather clever twist and doesn’t depict its bigfoots as savage and murderous lost links. No spoilers here, but I enjoyed the unique concept quite a bit. And Griffiths did his best to balance a rather immense catalogue of characters, making a really valiant attempt. However, even with with the good effort, I felt there were way too many different people included in a mere 134 page book. They all had purpose and kept my interest, but there were several times that I felt disoriented as to who was who. Griffiths used a great technique with shorter, more palatable chapters, akin to my Preternatural books, which won me over, too. But, again, there were many sections where I would just get used to reading one person, only to have it switched to someone else, and then another person, and so on, every few pages for sizeable sections. That’s not to say it wasn’t handled in a satisfactory manner, but either the book needed to be longer, or a handful of lesser people should have been taken out to balance it all out more. The ending chapters were also very good, too, but I felt that Kate and Cole’s story was left unfinished. Overall, I liked the writing style, characters, plot, and am eager to see more from this author.

I loved this book. it was awesome. and the fact that there were some different "monsters" added an extra "ahhh" I have read this author before and enjoyed his books. will be buying many more.

This is a fun read.
While part of the explanation is (um) not-my-favorite-horror-sub-genre, the author throws in a surprise for cryptid lovers. (Not telling you what it is - just read it.)
The book is certainly bloody, but I loved the characters and found the book a thrilling adventure!
Now, I've read the author before and sometimes I've had issues with the way he ends his books. (or doesn't end his books) In this case, the ending is satisfying and spot on.
Very happy with this one and looking forward to the author's next book.

I settled into this one only looking for a fun monster read. Isn't that pretty much why anyone would pick up this book? I mean, look at that awesome cover.
While the book delivered on the monster front, I really struggled with the writing style. I don't expect amazing writing from books like these, but this one read SO dry. This made it an alright book to read while I was going to bed, because it put me to sleep, but not so great because I got bored enough a few times to zone out and forget what I had just read. This is definitely NOT what I want from this type of book.
While I don't feel this is the worst book out there, I don't feel it deserves such a high average rating. I've read better books that are closer to a 3.6 star average, but I guess that's just the way it goes sometimes. I am the type to read reviews when looking at buying a book, and I felt a little duped into buying this one.
I might let this story settle for a while and change my rating from two to three stars, but as of right now it's a two.

Bigfoot novel
This one I liked, easy to read and with a twist, many of the Bigfoot novels makes the monsters killing humans for sport, there are creatures in this book with murder on it’s mind but here the Bigfoot takes the role as a protector, it was a fast but fun read and I recommend it

This was a pretty good story, with a few twists, a surprise ending and a lot of gore. A lot. Also a lot of characters to keep track of, as there are a lot of people on this mountain. Well written tale. I recommend it for a dark or windy night.

Terror really was on the mountain
Very good story, with a couple of surprises. The story started off strong and only got better. Several swerves that I appreciated.

Benevolent Bigfoot
I've been meaning to read the Bigfoot stories by Jerry Griffiths and finally had the opportunity. I enjoyed it so much! There were several storylines going on at the same time which made the book even more enjoyable as the characters cross paths with each other.
There were monstrous beasts terrorizing the farmers / livestock owners. People dedicated to treating their animals as humanely as possible and when they begin to be slaughtered their owners do what they can to protect them.
But not all of the beasts were animals. Some were incredibly vicious Humans. The ebb and flow of the story suddenly took off at a breakneck speed. You never knew when these beasts would appear or who might be hurt or perish. I can't wait to read more books by this author.

Fun though not really filled with terror. Fast and easy read with likable characters. The creatures were unique and vicious. I applauded some characters and slapped my head in disbelief at the stupid ones. Can people really be that stupid? Yes, I guess so. My favorites were Avery and Josie even though they seemed more support characters.
Interesting take on the Bigfoot genre.

Awesome
It was nice to read a story in which Bigfoot is a protective creature and not an aggressive killing machine -well maybe to the bad creatures that killed some livestock and tried to eat some humans. Very well written story about the guardian of the forest.

OMG. An amazing story
Not only is Bigfoot in the woods but another beast is prowling around. Predator or foe? Read on dear friends for a most exciting story of beast and humankind.

Yes
It was refreshing to read a story where Bigfoot is portrayed as the protector. It would have been nice to have the bear dogs backstory in greater detail.

Woo hoo that was fun. I really enjoyed this story. Very easy to read and I liked the characters. A bit of a twist amongst all the gore and I quite liked that, and enjoyed the way it ended. Smiling.
