Reviews for Todd Travis’ thrilling CREATURES OF APPETITE: “You’re used to clever plots, complex characters, twisted cases and brilliant writing. Few things can surprise you, because most times you figure out who the murderer is before the book ends. Well, let me tell you something: ‘Creatures of Appetite’ by Todd Travis is like nothing you’ve read before. Prepare yourself to be hooked from the … from the very first pages, to forget that you need to eat or sleep, and to be taken by surprise by a twisted ending that you could have never guessed.” —Jo Ammons, NY Books Examiner
“If you start reading this book thinking that you’ll be able to put it down before bedtime, you’re wrong. You’ll only be able to fall asleep after you turn the last page. Usually, readers who read a lot of crime novels gain the ability to guess how everything is going to end, or at least suspect. It’s not going to happen with “Creatures of Appetite”, because the ending will come as a shock.” —Top Books Worth Reading
“No, as a reader you won’t guess who the murderer is before Jacob Thorne puts two and two together, but that’s not what makes Creatures of Appetite stand out in its genre. What makes it really worth reading is on the very last pages.” —All Fantasy Worlds
They call it the Heartland Child Murders.
Everyone else calls it a nightmare.
Locked doors don’t stop him.
He leaves no trace behind.
He only takes little girls.
His nickname …
The Iceman.
A deranged serial killer roams wintry rural Nebraska, targeting little girls, with a demented purpose no one can fathom.
FBI Special Agent EMMA KANE, a former DC cop considered to be damaged goods, is assigned to babysit burned-out profiler JACOB THORNE as they both fly to Nebraska to catch this maniac. Thorne is erratic, abrasive and unpredictably brilliant, but what he and Kane find in the heartland is much more than anyone bargained for, especially when the Iceman challenges them personally, where it hurts most.
The clock is ticking and a little girl’s life is on the line.
And maybe even more with that, once they find out what he’s really up to.

I loved the book – I plan on buying his others books.
I’m bummed that the max number of stars I can select is only 5. I would give this book, and author, a 100.
Emma Kane/Jacob Thorne are a perfect team! This book has enough suspense to keep you interested, I read it in a matter of days. It’s realistic enough that things of this nature could and are possible and the main characters are Brave and aren’t caged in by boundaries. They’re not afraid to break the law or do what needs to be done to see that …
WOW! That was intense and suspenseful! I really enjoyed this book with just a few gripes. The gruff main character was unlikeable and made for an unpleasant read. I’m also not fond of the treatment of the local cops as being angry, inefficient, and just plain stupid. This type of characterization has gotten old. Cussing usually doesn’t bother me …
