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 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.

5,0 su 5 stelle Truly interesting and thought provoking

I typically read all types of genres but must admit fantasy is my big love with police procedural such as Creatures of Appetite coming in a distant second and even further behind would be a novel in a series.

I was pleasantly surprised then to find that from word 1 I was hooked and actually read every word to the very end of this book and enjoyed it immensely. Both of the “heroes” are flawed and are easy to relate to as we all have a Kane or someone who fancies themselves a genius like Thorne in our lives. The Iceman is a cunning and thoroughly believable baddie and his crime is laid out logically throughout the novel.

I enjoyed this so much in fact that I just bought #2 and #3 in the series and hope that I will enjoy them as much as the first.

I highly recommend this novel and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

In many ways this is a hard-boiled tale of police detection, with twist and turns of plot, rapid action, and brilliant deduction. The psychopath is kept anonymous until very close to the end. His crimes are horrendous. This book has just about everything you could want from a thriller/horror tale.

Jacob Thorne, the chief profiler, is a brilliant, but curmudgeonly b*stard, to put it mildly. (Excuse my language.) Emma Kane, Thorne's offsider, is a woman of caring and courage, but with hidden flaws. This is Kane's first case and the reader is soon on her side, hoping the best for her.

The plot has absolutely no dull spots, moving along rapidly. The short chapters help to keep up the pace. I read the book quickly mainly because I couldn't put it down.

This is one of the best books I have read in a while and I am happy to award it 5 stars.

I'm seriously into profilers now. JACOB THORNE is a MASTERMIND. He plays chase with himself. An ex-FBI profiler but soon thrust into a new case because of his talent to solve the crimes. An egoist bastard. Paired up with newbie EMMA KANE he goes into a hunt for THE ICEMAN who is targeting the children. Although there's no sentence in which the Author said that JACOB and EMMA got some CHEMISTRY but sure you can just FEEL it. There's just the writing of TODD that makes the whole book what it is. THORNE is my fav hero... ANTI-HERO of all the heroes out there. I'm still not over this book.

Picked up CREATURES OF APPETITE by Todd Travis during a recent book promo. It was a little darker than what I’d been reading lately—all about a serial killer that preys on young kids. It’s a genre bender. While listed as a mystery-thriller, it could just as easily been categorized under horror. Think Dean Koontz.

For me, the beginning chapters were a love/hate relationship. I thought some of the writing was good and other parts repetitive and difficult to follow. Quick transitions and redundant dialogue made the opening a slow go, but I did like the characters and where the story was headed. I figured if something works, I’d give it a pass and kept reading.

About four or five chapters in, Mr. Travis hits his stride. I loved the protagonist Jacob Thorne. He’s a prickly s.o.b. with a personality better suited for a job in the DMV, but there he is, a profiler with the illustrious FBI. Well, was a profiler. In fact, he’s brought out of an enforced retirement to try to stop a serial killer dubbed The Iceman. Unfortunately for him, he’s saddled with Special Agent Emma Kane, a former cop who’s recovering from a traumatic event. Does Thorne relish a partner with shaky hands? Who would, but most of us would be more tactful in expressing dissatisfaction. Let me put it this way, Thorne does not hold back.

Given that this is Todd Travis’ first book, I kept thinking that I can’t wait to watch him develop. I was impressed by the writing and wished the very few mistakes were cleaned up. I mean, why not? This is stellar work and deserves stellar handling. The plot was intriguing, the characters richly embraced, and the twists? They had my head spinning. I especially loved the one at the end. No spoilers here! Suffice to say that Kane finally learns why Thorne plays chess in that unique way. She keeps hammering him with that question throughout and the answer had me laughing out loud.

If you can handle grisly crimes, a scumbag killer, a profiler who clearly never read Norman Vincent Peale’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, a rookie agent that better get her act together fast, and assorted police officials who would rather be right than catch a killer, then this one’s for you. I highly recommend CREATURES OF APPETITE and enjoyed the walk on the evil side. It’s creepy, full of memorable scenes and action, and entertaining to boot. Mr. Travis, I’m keeping my eye on you! Can’t wait to read what you come up with next!
