It starts out like a horror/werewolf story but quickly becomes a credible account of creatures coming through energy portals into this world from a parallel universe.
I gave it 5 Stars for being well written, hard to put down, character development, the way the author tied everything together and the fact that every time I thought I had it figured out I was wrong! Doh!

Here's the set-up:
Their world is crowded with active volcanoes, sulfur and acid rains,
permanent thick clouds turn day into deep twilight. It is a violent
place: moment-to-moment survival is victory, every creature is
constantly predator and prey, sleep is certain death.
This is home to
the longclaws, beings of super-human speed, strength and senses. Their
predatory skills allow them only a tenuous niche in their hellish
environment. Though smart and fierce, their rank in the food chain is
far below the top. One clan leader draws from ancient legends of
paradise and devises a plan to escape and take his clan to the
otherworld - a world filled with slow, defenseless prey.
The clan activates an Indian mound deep in southern forests and enters our world -hungry for prey.
Torrential
rains and washed out bridges force a runaway teen, an old dowser and a
Cherokee healer to face the horrors of the clan's merciless onslaught.
Mankind's
legends are filled with vampires, werewolves, dragons and other
nightmarish. Perhaps our legend of hell is based on the world of the
Longclaws.
One Reviewer Notes:
...[I]n Longclaws, the author has not only built an entire history and social structure for his critters, he skillfully weaves it into stories of human history and mythology. As you read, you find that you are delighted as your mind starts making certain connections into our shared history.
Peek brings you into the minds of his monsters and, the funny thing is, you start to wonder who the real monsters are. You start, little by little, to feel for them in their world of predator vs. prey.
