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.

Great book. Be warned, there is some gore but it’s a great story. Just when you think you have everything figured out, it turns back on you. You *think* you’re one step ahead of the author but he has you! Can’t wait to read the next book in the series (this is Book 1).

Great start to a series that locks you in and keeps you wanting to read more. If you are a fan of psychological thrillers with twists, turns and a little brevity, this is the read for you. This page turner keeps you locked in to the entire story until the last few words…. which will make you have to pick up the next in the series to find out …
Chilling and unexpected ending.
WOW I think you can get right up there with Stephen King.. what a story
This is an action packed book about two FBI agents on the hunt for a serial killer in Nebraska. There are twists and turns to no end. The ending is totally unexpected.
Did not think i would enjoy this as much as i did. And the ending i loved the most. Reminded me of a great series i watched!
You will read this book in one setting. I was hooked from page one. This is a mystery, suspense & horror story. If you are a fan of this genre, you will enjoy this book. A serial killer called the Iceman, chased by FBI agents. Loads of twists & turns, but WOW, the ending is a shocker.
This book kept you on your seat and didn’t let go until the last sentence. What a surprise!
Great mystery!
suspenseful, edgy, realistic with a twisted ending. great read!
I’ll definitely be reading this series!
This story is set in Nebraska and is about a sadistic serial killer who targets young female children in grisly murders. An involuntarily retired FBI profiler is called back from retirement and is put on the case, but because he is a loner, anti-social, and a rule breaker he is forced to partner with a female FBI agent who is a former cop with her …
Great book. Believable characters. Surprises at the end.

An Emma Kane and Jacob Thorne Novel
For me it started slow, but not for long. It picked up speed quickly. A serial killer is, killing and chopping up little girls.
-It takes place mostly in Nebraska with tons of snow.
-They think two serial killers are on the loose, but they find it it’s really …
Don’t make assumptions
It was okay. Didn’t like the ending. Won’t buy the sequel.
STILL HAVING NIGHTMARES AFTER THIS ONE.
a page turner, interesting and weird characters.
This thrilling mystery of who’s the Iceman in the Heartland Child Murders is a twisted series of FBI / Behavioral Analysis themed who-done-it! The ending is one you never thought of! There are twists and turns, then – the very ending – it leaves you running to read the 2nd book in the series to find out what Kane and Thorne do next.
I loved this …
This book had me hooked by the second paragraph and by the end of the last chapter I knew I would be purchasing the next in the series. Trophies. So happy reading everyone
