5 Huge stars.

This is my first book from this author, but definitely not my last. I was kept guessing through the entire book. Seriously could not figure out who was who and how this would turn out. I absolutely love that!

The epilogue threw more questions out there, so I'm sure things will continue. Will it be Shank's story next??

Omg Animal is one wild,didn't see that coming,dark,unpredictable ride!
Ms. Mann writes like no other! The way she sequences things is brilliant!
The way the book is setup and starts coming together is truly pure genius!
There's no way to guess who,how,where or when in this epic book!
The plot is unique and unlike anything else. The characters are very well developed. They are also twisted and and depraved.
The ending blow my mind! WTH just happened!
Loved this masterpiece of darkness!

I am finally deciding I'm just going to DNF this book :( I hate to do it but I can't go back to it I just can't it's TOO much for me. Too violent too I don't know just TOO much. I am still giving it a 3 star rating because the writing itself is good and the story seems like a good one I just can't push myself to finish to see if it's GREAT. I gave it a good go and read until at least half way if not even more.

Wow!! That was an unexpected wild book. Read it fast, still processing everything. I'm so glad the next book will be out soon because I'm left hanging and wanting more answers.
Pretty graphic and gritty, but I was totally intrigued and wanted to know how everything and everyone tied together. Blown away at the end and still have questions. Can't wait for the next book

This book is twisted and for most parts very sick but...l loved it!!!!! l probably will have to read something mild to balance this out though, clear out the crazy.

First things first this book is not for the mild hearted and the conservative just saying. There is explicit sex scenes, swearing, torture and drug use. There is a boy and a girl and some romance but that is really subtle.

Now about the book,l liked it because:

1. The characters. l loved the characters Tyler is super nice a little gullible but still, Jae is my favourite character in this one l know his twisted and crazy but l loved him with Tyler the glimpse of them together really was just sweet.

2. l loved the writing in this book it could have easily turned trashy and grimace worthy but MM is a skilled writer and she pulled this of even with the explicit scenes.

Finally there is this thing that most people will agree with me this book has a way of pulling you in. It pulls you in a way you can't put it down. You may feel weird about reading it in public but you will read it no doubt.

The ending argh? WTH! can someone tell me what just happened in the epilogue the thing with the kid.

Someone just be a darling and explain this to me because l am hanging here (this authors are never content until they mess with our heads!!)anyway moving on->

So l liked this book, thumbs up but l will not be recommending it to any one l know anytime soon all my friends are too conservative.

WTF!?!?!?!

What the ever loving f@ck just happened!?!?!?

I seriously am so lost. Throughout the whole book you try piecing together random bits of information. If you are like me you were able to figure some of it out, but I guarantee at least one piece of information will blow your f@cking mind!

Well written and mind twistingly entertaining, Animal will keep you on edge with the suspense, the erotic fun, and the need for more screams.

I'm not sure who is more messed up in the head, Marni Mann for writing it or me for loving the hell out of it.

reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood

I've been mindf*cked. That epilogue was a huge curveball, something that I didn't expect AT ALL. I think this is one of the rare times that I was taken by surprise by an ending. WHAT THE. FU CK.

This book is unlike anything that I've read before. I'm not sure if I liked it or hated it but it definitely was entertaining, to an extent. It was definitely...something else. I'm still speechless.

4.5 'WTF' stars

If you read the blurb, you can't really figure out what to expect. After I read Prisoned and met Beard, the main character of this book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on his book. As soon as I got Animal, I knew some really dark and twisted things would go down. I love dark books with villains as main characters. And Beard fit that bill perfectly. In my opinion he isn't a good guy, but there are things that made him the way he is. The structure of this book was different, normally it wouldn't have worked for me but for this book it was perfect. It left you with question marks almost throughout the whole book. I had no idea what was going on in the beginning, however I am a pretty good predictor/investigator of secrets in books. So half-way through I had some theories and a couple of them were correct.

However Marni wouldn't be Marni if she didn't throw a couple of plot twists the readers way. There was so much dark and twisted things going on but there was also a lot of hot and dirty sex. The author did an amazing job with the characters. She made me feel a certain way about them, which made perfect sense at the end. There are two stories in one book but they are connected, and it is up to you to figure out what is going on. It was very creative and mysterious and I couldn't get enough. I was hooked from the start and I couldn't wait till I received the answers to all my questions. Marni has one crazy and twisted mind!! This book is NOT for the faint-hearted. If you want a good mind-fuck where nothing is as it seems then definitely read this book. Especially the ending had me saying WTF and OMG, Marni really knows how to end a book.

Ummmm...

I don’t even know what to say about this book. I was so confused the whole time and I’m hoping the second book clears things up. I can tell you, Animal is a must read! Loved it.
