Great first novel. I read 2-3 mystery novels per week and I found myself as engrossed as if I was reading Michael Conelley, David Baldacci or Lee Childs. Suspense was great and for a change I couldn't anticipate the ending, to me the mark of a good story. This should be the beginning of several "Tyler" stories. Can't wait to see how he fares in the next episode.

An excellent debut from a new author. Let me prefix with the fact that murder mysteries are not my normal genre for novels, however I enjoyed Beastmark quite a lot! It took me a few chapters to really get into the book, probably because at first I had a considerable hate on for the protagonist -- however this is as much a story of redemption for the protagonist as it is a mystery, and it is a rare novel and author that can turn initial disdain of your main character into something better. Seeing the main character evolve over the course of the novel was almost as interesting as the whole murder investigation thing.

"Beastmark" is an enthralling, spellbinding and can’t put it down read. I stumbled on it by accident and was soon fully absorbed by the twist and turns of this truly suspenseful novel. I hope the author has more to follow.
