Book Review: The Ape Cave Horror by Clint Romag

This is the second of Romag's Sasquatch Encounters Series, and it is another thriller worthy of its predecessor The Unleashing. It picks up three years after the events in the previous book with our hero Chad Gamin, who is contacted by a fellow named Andrew to track down and capture a Sasquatch at the Ape Caves near Mount Saint Helens. Andrew believed the slaughter in Canada which Chad barely escaped was merely a fluke event, and operates under that premise, but as the adventure begins, he finds out how horribly wrong he truly is. These Sasquatches are cold-blooded killers in this story and most assuredly commit a good deal of slaughter, even on characters the readers think will survive the story. The events take place deep in the Ape Caves, where Chad and Andrew's daughter Sherrie and Andrew and two workers come across the killer Sasquatches and begin a harrowing horrifying adventure which leaves the reader glued to each page. There are narrow escapes, thrilling chases, truly chilling moments and even a bit of romance in between the thrills. There is also a short preview of the next book which details that a character from Unleashing (Spoiler Alert ahead) survived that slaughter and was abducted by the Sasquatch creatures. I do recommend this second in the series Romag is writing, even though again it is not exactly an accurate representation of the true nature of the Forest Giants.
