About this listen
No good deed goes unpunished.
Detroit is a hole where even a werewolf's sins can be buried. Or so Jake Brennan hopes. Hiding from his hunters, shooting heroin to negate the effect of the full moon, he is beginning to turn things around. And the day he is witness to a brutal attack on ER doctor Gwen Cheevey, Jake is forced to transform into something new: a hero.
But when a clip of his good deed goes viral, Jake's days of hiding are over.
To keep Gwen safe, Jake will need to embrace the beast within. Is he strong enough to control it, or will Gwen become another black mark against his name?

Very much not the usual werewolf story: no running with the pack, no delight in the power of the freedom. No, the reader travels with a troubled soul whose life is blighted with being what he is, of terrible 'memories' forgotten but still imagined and the inner conflicting voice which constantly argues for him to give in and be something he fears and hates. This is a story of struggle against the odds, of how things can be made possible by sheer determination. A metaphor.
The ending is unexpected, but good. Travis Baldree reads well, his slightly sinister voice for Jake encompassing his hopeless desperatkon, his desire to be other than what he is. The narration increases the power of this story as well as giving Jake and the other protagonists voice.
I received a complimentary copy of Black Marks, at my request, from the rights holder, via Audiobook Boom - thank you - and this brief review is given voluntarily, an attempt to share my feelings about it. There is action, plenty of it, but much is of the inner kind as well as external confrontation. And there is also love, but not just of the romantic kind. A constant swirl of thoughts and emotions of an ordinary man caught in an exceptional circumstance trying his best to do what he can to be 'good'.
An unusual book, very well worth reading. I will be watching for the author's other works.
A definite recommendation.
