Shadow Beast

By: Luke Phillips

Narrated by: Andrew Pond

Something is hunting in the Highlands. And it has never known fear.

Deep in the Scottish Highlands, something extraordinary – and terrifying – has made the ancient forests its hunting ground. When a pattern of savage, unexplained kills begins to emerge across the glens, wildlife conservationist Thomas Walker finds himself drawn into a mystery that defies everything he knows about predators, nature, and survival.

A creature unlike anything catalogued by science is out there: intelligent, adaptive, and deadly. As the body count rises and the Highland community begins to fracture under fear, Thomas must draw on every skill he possesses – hunter, tracker, naturalist–to confront a beast that should not exist.

Rooted in real zoological science and set against the spectacular, brooding landscape of the Scottish Highlands, Shadow Beast is a white-knuckle thriller that asks what we still do not know about the natural world–and what it might do if we get too close.

Could not stop listening

Excellent writing and performance. Keeps you on the edge of your set. Didn't want to pause.

Beast

Interesting how story was told from beast perspective as well as the main human characters. Didn’t really need the story line of historic conflict between two male characters.

very good

suspenseful and a bit creepy. humans as prey gave me the chills. I loved it.

So-so

I was expecting more but what I got wasn’t that bad. I will look up this author and see what else he has penned.

It seemed to end too soon. I like longer novels and don’t see how this one passed the temporal test. Non the less it had a little something that kept me interested , this the 4 star rating.
