About this listen

Lawless, British Columbia is on edge after a powerful earthquake jolts the region, quickly followed by a string of savage animal attacks. Newly stationed to the area after her predecessor mysteriously disappears, Conservation Officer Christine Moon needs to calm the jangled nerves of the small mountain town.

Awakened from ancient slumber, something stalks the swirling, grey mists that surround Lawless. A beast with a gnawing hunger that grows stronger by the minute - its only thought, to satisfy its ravenous appetite.

Rampant corruption at the highest level has targeted Christine to be the next mysterious disappearance. Now, she's in a fight for her life while trying to track and contain the creature threatening to decimate the local population.

I love the idea of this book with a prehistoric creature feature coming alive after an earthquake. It'd be so cool to watch as a movie.
There was a lot of focus on what people were eating, or what they looked like, and not enough titular 'claw' action.
This would have been more impactful if it had been shortened and the gore enhanced.
A great read for anyone who likes rampaging animals.

Disappointed, the story could have been a great one but the over the top gratuitous gory description and the intense viciousness of the police ruined it for me

Over the Top

I will admit I didn’t know what to expect when “Claw” popped up in my suggestions list…but I will say, without fear of contraindication, that this is one of the best, overall, novels I’ve ever had the pleasure to enjoy.
Superbly written dialogue, environment description that put me right there in the wilds of Canada and character development that made me love the heroes and their relationships with each other, and loathe the corrupt, ignorant villains who, so rightly, received their just desserts.
I cannot recommend this novel strongly enough to anyone who enjoys the novels of Benchley, Crichton, Matthew Reilly and Greig Beck, respectively and the movies Anaconda, Lake Placid and Jaws.

10/10.

Spectacularly written!

So much time spent on describing food which was invariably amazing. Characterizations were pretty unsophisticated and a lot of the conversational dialogue was underwhelming.

Just ok

Perfectly written and narrated fun horror story

The narrators Australian accent made me laugh, but was still decent enough to keep me immersed

Well written horror fest

Easy listening and story clear if a bit too gory sometimes but kept me interested as to what would happen next

Canadian beauty

Claw was very entertaining, humorous in parts and high paced in others. Well worth a listen.

Great Audiobook

the narrator is not my favourite, he has no vocal range and everything sounds the same, but he grew on me and I did end up enjoying the story. it's fast paced and constant

surprised me

was ok, until it introduced the asshole character in chapter 10. what's that got to do with monsters?

chapter 10, wtf?

I found myself constantly intrigued by the main story and "creature". but there's too much over-descriptions, like a high schooler trying to meet their word count requirement.

too much filler
