Sheryl isn’t a normal girl, she just doesn’t know it yet. A string of peculiar events and family secrets propel this seemingly normal teen’s life on a path to save her family, her town, and possibly even humanity. Deep in the Mississippi Delta, Sheryl must balance the paranormal changes waking up inside her with the cold, harsh facts that a murderer is on the loose in her small home town. When a series of atrocities begins, Sheryl and her family must come to terms with the secrets of their past and the damning odds of their future. Can Sheryl reconcile the phenomenon she is faced with along with her normal teenage urges? Can she learn to hunt while also being hunted before it’s too late for herself and the people she loves? Growl by Ashley Fontainne is a dark and suspenseful page-turner packed with an intriguing twist on a local Southern legend.

Ashley Fontainne never fails to inject a load of suspense and terror into her pages – she’s proven this once again with Growl. Fontainne allows a unique lull in Growl that offers a heart-warming family saga and intricate perspective on a local native legend. New adult and paranormal fans will be able to sink their teeth into this fresh take on occult beings. Growl, while dark and terrifying, is equal in beauty through the development of family ties, duty, and love. Anticipation, action, horror, and relationships – Fontainne packs the pages with ample mystery to urge the reader to the finish. Growl is a recommended read for fans of Southern and native folklore, horror, and coming-of-age readers alike.
