Reviews of Feral:

Psychological thrillers always intrigue me so when I first seen this, I knew it was one that I was going to have to read. It sounded so sinister and the feral cat aspect just made it seem even more creepy so I was looking forward to picking it up.

My initial thoughts on finishing Feral was to shiver because wow those cats were freaky!! Then it was to be in awe of the authors mind. This book was just mind boggling!!

"Feral" maintains its power over readers, much like those horror movies of which teens are so fond, through its psychological hold. Whether Claire is going crazy or is the victim of sinister events is what makes the story really work.
