Jackals starts out slow, so slow in fact that I had to restart a couple times until I could give the story my full attention. I am not biased by Grant’s other works as some reviewers evidently are, so once I got into the story I was pretty much hooked. The premise is basically killers, referred to as jackals, preying on disabled motorists on the highways, but this is far from all you discover as the story unfolds. This is a somewhat chilling horror thriller having much in common with werewolves hunting victims in the night. Our protagonist Jim Scott is a jackal hunter, devoted to this dangerous and mysterious profession because he lost a loved one in this manner. Jim befriends a female traveler who has been attacked and escapes, making her way to his door in the middle of the night. The author reveals this complex plot little-by-little, saving an unexpected twist to expand and pull the story in a new direction. The ending may be a bit underwhelming, but I enjoyed the tale all-in-all.
