CAN'T SLEEP NOW!

"Luka can write!! I never thought I would like Sasquatch books, but this was so fun, so exciting... but most importantly, it was so well written. Luka knows how to ebb and flow a story, and you really get to know every character. That’s hard to do with so many. Thank you for giving me this gift."
KATHY C. - KINDLE VERIFIED PURCHASE
FOREST OF THE SASQUATCH IS ONE OF THE BEST BIGFOOT HORROR STORIES I'VE EVER READ.
"My favorite Luka T Jacobs book so far. Characters are surprisingly fleshed-out for such a fairly short story. They're very relatable, likable, flawed and you'll genuinely care and worry about what will happen to each of them as the story progresses. The suspense is off-the-charts and the Sasquatch antagonists are truly terrifying. This is my 5th Luka book in a row and will definitely not be my last. Next up for me will be her Dogman trilogy."

A FANTASTIC NEW HEROINE IS FIGHTING DOGMAN AGAIN!
"If you see a book written by Luka T Jacobs run don’t walk to buy it. I love this new series and Nicole Beretti is the heroine we all want to be. From start to finish this book Savage Rouge is a great. Didn’t want it to end and look forward to the next one."
L. YESBERG
The Night of the Dogman series is a gripping cryptid thriller trilogy that pulls readers deep into a world of survival, suspense, and primal terror.

MUST READ! AWESOME SERIES.
"I saw this series pop up on my Facebook page, and to be honest haven't read a book in years. I decided to get it because I'm interested in this kind of thing, glad I did. As soon as the book arrived, I couldn't put it down. Finished it within the next day. Definitely will get the rest of them. My opinion this would be a great tv series or a movie keeps you on your toes. If you like reading these kinds of books I would recommend them."

That’s how you end a series! I was impressed, so many times a great series is ended so quickly and anti-climactically. Not the case here though, stayed dialed in the whole time and hated to put it down when I had to. But it was a good way to close out this chapter and hopefully potentially open a new one Ms. Jacobs?
