In the hills of West Virginia, a legend comes to life...
Becky Gayle always thought her granddaddy's tales about the mythological Sheepsquatch were just that, myth. But one dark and stormy night, she and her soon-to-be-ex boyfriend are caught outside by the beast, and she learns the hard way that all the stories were true.
Duncan's been in love with Becky from afar for years, but thanks to the truth about his nature, he's always been afraid to profess his feelings. When he learns a secret about her boyfriend, he has to step in to save her from the danger she isn't even aware she's in. And in doing so, he risks his heart and his very life.
"Sheepsquatch" is a horror romance parody, featuring shape-shifting, bawdy humor, murder, mayhem, and legendary folklore. A short story coming in around 12,000 words, it's best not taken seriously.
Where to even begin…Let’s begin with the cover and title. Yeah, that’s winning all around. I couldn't resist reviewing this one. But in the end I was kind of let down.
This is supposed to be a parody, but I didn't find any outright humor and poking fun at the romance genre. It was also light on the romance and horror elements. There were parts that I found entertaining, but in the end I guess I just expected more than I got from it. It either needed more gore and romance (sex, cause there wasn't any) or market it as a young adult even middle school story.
