Dirus
Thought extinct during the last ice age, a predator has continued to thrive in the shadow of man and has remained undiscovered in the isolated forests of central Canada. In a quest for a new and distant territory, a young pack of carnivores settles in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. With a busy summer tourist season underway, Sam, a resident bear biologist, is thrown into a tangle of puzzling deaths and disappearances. These intelligent creatures stay one step ahead of Sam and her team as they hunt the native wildlife and unsuspecting visitors that stumble upon the territorial and ravenous pack.

Reader Reviews from Vella:
If you love books/stories like Beast or Jaws by Peter Benchley or Zoo by James Patterson and I'll even throw in Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton because it's got similar themes; I'm telling you, you're really going to enjoy Dirus!
Truthfully, it's been decades since I've read a natural disaster creature horror that has kept me engaged and didn't make my eyes roll to the ceiling with its absurdity.
It's spooky and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
It's a really refreshing take on the creature thriller. There is no evil corporation or man's the ultimate monster.
LJ tackles it all and achieves in this top-notch creature horror in the sprawling and beautiful landscape of Yellowstone National Park.
The level of intensity is great, the pacing is fast, and there are no boring bits -
