This book centres around the Ballantyne family, whose ranch is attacked by a deadly predator created by their neighbour and nemesis, tech giant Josef Gerhard. I particularly enjoyed the first half of the book when the clues implicating Gerhard are uncovered, each by a different family member or one of their family friends. This made all the characters feel relevant to the story and developed each character by showing their abilities. The second half is more of a thriller and ends the book on a cliff hanger.
It was refreshing to see strong, intelligent female characters in a book of this genre and I loved the fact that the women took on the roles of leaders throughout the story. I thought the villains could've been developed slightly more with backstories to explain why they act the way they do.
In general, I thought this book was very well written and enjoyed the way the descriptions took advantage of all the senses. At times I felt the characters emotions could've been shown slightly more through actions as opposed to just telling the reader how the character felt.
Overall, I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would and would be interested to read the next book in the Prey Zone series when it is released.
