"Kit Karson knows how to hold an audience in suspense for just the right amount of time, and Savage Malice delivers a masterful mix of crime, conspiracy, and intrigue with a new beat dropping just when you need it most. Dark and intriguing from cover to cover, Savage Malice is a standout entry among The Anderson Chronicles, a novel that raises provocative questions about belief, hysteria, and truth." – K.C.

"From its opening lines, Karson crafts a tale that steadily builds intrigue and horror into what initially feels like ordinary mountain town life ... a delightful romp through possibility, reality, and truths about twisted angels, drugs, and money. Where’s the beef? It’s right there in Anderson, cooking with possibility and excitement." – Midwest Book Review

"Kit Karson does a great job painting this postcard town into a dangerous place that has people on edge, and the investigation just becomes layered. I also love how real the procedural work seems with its slow-burn legwork in a rural community, the mounting deaths, the tufts of fur found at the scene, the visit to the Torrey Farm, and all of this is happening in between daily life, such as the brawl at the senior apartment and the UFO-cult traffic jam. Everything feels authentic. There's no shock value, but the focus is actually on the human cost. Karson knows how to slowly turn the screws, and there is plenty of that here." – Demetria Head for Reader Views
