Over the summer, senior Sergei “Von” Vonosovich has grown from a skinny geek to a stunning example of young manhood.  Now due to a serum that Von’s father had been working on prior to his death, he is a starter on the varsity football team and he is dating the love of his life.  But do the benefits really outweigh the risks? 

The new coach, Mike Minot, had a promising career in the NFL until he injured his knee.  Now he is just passing time until he manages to find a way to go back to his real life in the pros.  And he is willing to do anything, including murder, to find his way back. 

MONSTERMAN by Joseph J. Curtin was a very pleasant surprise to this reviewer.  It starts out as a mild mannered novel that steadily builds into an intense thriller that will have the reader sitting on the edge of the seat.  This is one book that is difficult to put down until the very last page. 

The characters are what really carry this book.  At the beginning of the book Von is a jock, yet not a stereotypical one.  He is well read, considerate and well liked by everyone.  He then starts a steady decline into a person that no one would care to know.  Mike Minot is a jerk from the very beginning and he will be one that readers will love to hate.  

This reviewer recommends MONSTERMAN to all readers who enjoy thrillers with a strong touch of the paranormal.  Get your copy today!
