Trent Pettry, author
In the Florida marshlands, three teenagers uncover a harrowing secret. Val and her brother Shane live a chaotic life with their friend Freddy, distracted from their father's disappearance. After discovering a creature in the marsh, they bring it home, only to realize it craves warm-blooded prey. As a foul odor from a mysterious RV in their trailer park spreads, Val and her friends suspect a connection. During their investigation, they witness a horrific event that sends them scrambling for their lives. With their deadbeat uncle triggering even more danger, the siblings must confront whether their gruesome discovery holds the key to their survival.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Short Story Creature Feature

For fans of monster-fic, Bait is perfect. Great characters that serve as much more than monster kibble, a fascinating monster that is unique, and a darn good story.

If it had been any longer a lot of questions would have been answered and would have made a good foray as cosmic horror.

Anyway, Bait gets a thumbs up from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thrilling and Suspenseful Young Adult Novel

I recently had the pleasure of reading Trent Pettry's book Bait and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. I have read Trent's other books and this goes right along with the similar quality of writing and fantastic storytelling.

This book is a thrilling and suspenseful read that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

Pettry's writing is engaging and his characters are well-developed, making it easy to become invested in their story. The setting of the marshlands in Florida is also beautifully depicted, adding an atmospheric and unique touch to the novel.

I found myself completely immersed in the story, following Val, Shane, and Freddy on their exciting and dangerous adventure. The inclusion of the mysterious creature added a layer of horror that only added to the thrill of the story.

I like short reads and this one was no exception. I liked the trio of Val, Shane and Freddy. They find a cute, but aggressive, little creature that they think is an octopus. What else will they find?

Read to find out :)

I really enjoyed this story. So much so, that I was sad to have it end and hope for a follow-up.

I think this could have had a little bit more to it but I very much enjoyed this short tale! Quick and had a nostalgic vibe to it even though I don't know that was the intention behind this book. Never the less its was a fun time!
