Thomas Walker #1
Shadow Beast
Hunter vs Hunted. Man vs Nature.
It is a dark moonless night in the Highlands of Scotland. A lorry slowly navigates the twists and turns of the loch-side road as rain begins to pelt against the windscreen. It is the early hours of the morning and the road is empty. The driver wipes his eyes and winds down the window to let the air and rain revive him. As he rounds a bend, he catches a glimpse of something sleek and black pulling the carcass of a deer into the undergrowth. He feels a shiver run down his spine and winds the window back up. He tells no-one.
When evidence of a remarkable predator is discovered in the Highlands of Scotland, Thomas Walker finds himself confronted with his past and a creature the likes of which he had never wanted to face again. As its devastating rampage goes unchecked and threatens his home, the woman he loves and his very way of life, an older and much more human adversary seeks him out. How long had it surveyed Glen Cannich from the mountainside and how long would they survive its presence?
There are nearly 2,000 reported sightings of what have become known as mystery big cats across the UK every year. Some, such as the beasts of Bodmin and Dartmoor have become infamous. Their origin and identity remain unknown. Shadow Beast, the new chiller from Luke Phillips offers a terrifying and deadly explanation.

awesome!
This was one of those books that I picked at random, not expecting much. I was wrong. This was on par with Jurassic Park, and as JP is one of my favorite novels of all time, that's saying something. I was never bored because the book was pretty fast paced once you got about a quarter of the way in. And I'm not saying that in a negative way, at all. The build up was intense, and kept me on the edge of my seat. It kept getting more and more intense, the further along you got. I literally found myself nervously chewing my lip, and realized I had my "freaked out" eyebrows on, multiple times. You know a book is good when you start making faces while reading!! And when I saw that there's going to be another one, I got pretty excited...
If you liked Jurassic Park, Neanderthal, or Raptor Red, you'll like this one.

Totally unexpected
So, I am and always will be drawn to "monster" novels. This is definitely one of the best since I really had no idea what to expect. The author did a great job of making the characters come alive (some of them not alive for long). But, what I really enjoyed was the way the creature's thoughts and actions were described. This is not your average hunter vs. prey novel since both man and beast are hunting each other. Each page kept me wanting more. It is part mystery and definitely has lots of horror along with lots of gore which made it a great, hard to put down book. I hope this author has more like this on the way!

I don’t know what was happening with this narration, it was all over the place with strange voices at strange times. Maybe I would have liked the book better if I had read it.

One of the longest (and still continuing) conversations that I have with a friend of mine is about Bigfoot and other cryptids. While he is not a believer (yet), he does consume a lot of literature and media on this topic and I on the other hand am practically disinterested in the whole idea. Our conversations mostly go with each of us trying to understand the other’s perspective and yet not reaching a common ground. One thing I can say for sure is that cryptozoology as a topic in fiction is something I find interesting enough to start pursuing. This was how I chanced upon this book which takes up a running thread in crypto circuits : big cat sightings in mainland UK and Scotland.
The author is a zoological expert and someone who has spent time trying to understand big cats and this is strongest element of the story. The way the animal moves and interacts with it’s environment, other fauna and humans are the best parts of how the story proceeds to unravel. The bloodbath that the animal unleashes is part Jim Corbett, part Jurassic Park and part Jaws while being smart enough to adapt and develop it’s own style compared to these established models. The big reveal towards the climax did not go down all that well with me (but that has more to do with my scepticism than anything else) but otherwise the portions with the monster were the standout parts of the storytelling. The same cannot be said of the human elements and this was a let-down with the characters being paper thin and sometimes resorting to improbable and illogical behaviour that did not sit well with me. Being the sucker that I am for monster stories, all of this I selectively tuned out and placed the focus solely on the monster and it’s rampage.
Three stars for the skill in handling the monster attack parts deftly. As you can see from above, my review will be a tad biased and hence I’ll pass the recommendation baton this time around.

I bought this thinking werewolf or werepanther, but I will say not. Sill it was a good read. Ever read about mysterious lion or tiger or leopard sightings, or black panther ones? This horror novel about that. I enjoyed it. Jurassic Park with fangs and claws, but set in Scotland. Actually, the book blurb misleads some of the story. And the character, Thomas Walker could have had more issues that brings into conflict how he handles going after this monster. Also more of a reason why the human villain of this story seems to be blaming purposely Thomas. I do believe a villain can be black and white evil (think of Palpatine of Star Wars), but still, I wanted more of a reason this man does what he does to Thomas particularly. Another is the monster. Yes, Mr. Phillips is a zoologist, but there were a few issues I had knowing the particular beast this monster was and how some hunters sent after it did some stupid things I did not believe they would do (think of why someone hearing loud noise in the basement in a haunted house would go down into the basement--the fool who deserves to die). And yes, I guess what it was mid-way!).
Still, the book had the suspense and I loved the parts from the monster's pov, so you understood it better.
Need a read that could be as exciting as going to see Jurassic World in the movie theaters this summer for that beach read? Try Shadow Beast. Just do not read it in your tent alone in the dark woods at night while camping.

It's a monster book. It's a perfectly cromulent monster book.
I liked the first half better than the last half. I liked the monster pretty well.
I personally didn't find the "romantic" banter between the two main characters very convincing. And if you're in a group that's hunting a monster and you say you're going to stay together, by dog you should STAY TOGETHER. Just saying. I think dozens of horror movies should have taught us this by now.
CW: dogs die in this book. Also people. More people than dogs.
But if you suspend your disbelief a little and you can handle the body count, the book is fine.
There doesn't yet seem to be an entry in GoodReads for the Audible version as I write this. It was an Audible Deal of the Day a while back. The narrator is good too.
I got a lot of knitting done while I listened to this book.

A journey into the mind of the hunter and the hunted, Shadow Beast delivers an intelligent monster with a voracious appetite and a host of victims who haplessly stumble and other times deliberately walk into its path. Well written, descriptive and with a believable premise, Shadow Beast is a science fiction thriller, a page turner from masterful beginning to enticing end.

I finally found a decent "big cat" attack book, but it was fiction. The first half of the book was pretty good with the pacing and suspense. Unfortunately the story started devolving in the middle and by the end it was just corny, trite, and cliched. I especially didn't like the errors in logic and the "happily ever after" type romance. If a big cat is a slaughtering killing machine, it doesn't exempt favorite characters, favorite dogs, or children. If it is killing wantonly, then let him be "full monster," everybody in his path must die, no exceptions.

Well-written and extremely entertaining.
I wasn't sure quite what to expect when I started Shadow Beast. Was it horror? How gruesome was it? While I don't object to violence, I have limits to the amount and type of bloodshed I can tolerate. Shadow Beast was fine for me. There is violence, but I didn't find it glorified or overdone -- perfect degree of it.
I don't want to give away too many details, but I found it fascinating to be in the mind of the "beast". While I'm guessing most readers don't like him, I developed an immense respect for the creature. It's hard to condemn an animal for doing something that's completely natural to it.
The story itself is well-developed and well-written. The pieces are slowly introduced and then woven together well. The characters are very likeable.
Highly recommended.

When I started this book, I knew there was a beast, but no idea of what manner of creature it might be. And actually, never fully did know until the very end. But from page one to the last page I was caught; hook, line, and sinker! Fast paced action throughout, and you find yourself reading faster and faster trying to keep up.
Very well rounded characters, and most very likeable folk too. Of course we had to have at least one antagonist, and I sure did enjoy where he ended up.
This was a very enjoyable tale from start to finish. And what I liked most is that there was no leading into another book. This is a complete story, but it allows for a follow-up later should the Author wish to do so. Read it for yourself, and enjoy! I am sure you will.

I got through chapter 13 and decided to quit. Seems like a basic animal attack story. Nothing special.

Don’t Go In The Woods Alone
What I liked best about this book was the descriptions. Phillips does his best to make you see, hear, smell and feel everything through his use of words and he does an excellent job of it. His characters are fully developed and have believable arcs.
I would say the story is gripping and terrifying. There is no way you can start this story and not finish it, you will feel absolutely driven to keep reading.
I am looking forward to reading Phillips’ next book.

The author knows his stuff about zoology and I learned some interesting tidbits from reading this novel. I enjoyed the segments from the beast's perspective. But I found the plot too predictable and the characters too one-dimensional to really get into the story. This took me much longer to get through that a typical book of this length. I found myself skimming through a lot of it (e. g., lengthy background stories on new characters who are clearly about to get killed off by the kitty).

This was a real page turner. I really enjoyed it. Great characters. I could compare it to Jaws only faster paced.

Loved it! Soo much fun! Mysterious man -eating creature in the highlands of Scotland, ancient legends, urban myths, local folklore , this book has everything for a purely fun reading experience.

I listened to this Audiobook on Audible and gave it 3 Stars with 2 Stars for the Narration. Here is my review:
I have mixed feelings on this book and I am not quite sure where to start. This is the first book by Luke Phillips I have read or listened to and I found Shadow Beast to be just okay. This book definitely has the gore and thriller/chiller down, but personally for me it was a little too much gore. It's not that gore bothers me, it just seems the attacks were always similar making the scenes boring after a while although I do have to say the ending of the book was great.
As for the Narrator, Andrew Pond, I liked his voice and found it easy to listen to. The reason I gave Andrew Pond two stars on his narration was because of two big reasons. First he was narrating way too fast and in doing so the different parts of the story, the point of view of the cat and the point of view from the humans, ran together making it difficult to follow the story at times. The other big thing that I found unpleasant was Andrew Pond was using these weird accents and voices, especially when he was narrating the cat scenes. All in all I liked the book, but I feel I might have enjoyed it more if I read it on my own.

I had not read anything by Luke Philips before, that is going to change. the idea is that a man eating creature is loose in Scotland and that a naturalist and an ex hunter who specialised in Man Eating animal removal starts to track it. Add in the machinations and a personal grudge from Whitehall and you have the basic plot. Very sparse , very bare description that of a book that kept me rivetted from start to finish. The UK did have lions as a natural species, OK that was 13,000 to 14,000 years ago Panthera Spelara, approx 10% bigger than what we recognise as a lion today, the Romans then introduced Barbary Lions to the UK, presumably to keep them entertained at Games, so there is back ground. This is a beautifully written and wholly engaging story with all the excitement and worry of the Big Game hunting described by writers such as Jim Corbett and Col Patterson. I am trying really hard not to give too much away but on this one it is hard not to give the basic premise a whirl. Suffice to say, plots, counterplots, intertwined people and relationships, realistically described countryside and weather, (funnily enough that was important here). All in all a really satisfactory read, thoroughly enjoyed it

Horribly paced, not at all suspenseful, and incredibly boring.
It takes forever for the story to really go anywhere. Thomas' background is told to us piecemeal over the first 80% of the book. Which is way too much time to continue to introduce new info about the only developed character in the book.
I didn't like anything written from the beast's perspective. Knowing what it was thinking completely destroys the suspense because the audience is being informed of what's going to happen long before it does. There's nothing thrilling about being told a character we just met is going to die, and then being told they died.
The love interest is super obvious, and uninteresting.
The ending would have been way better without the epilogue.

You'll fall in love with the highlands, the tragic heroes looking for a new turn from their haunted pasts, and the all-powerful beast that won't be spoiled. But it will be fed.
Seriously, this monster eats A LOT of people. The ridiculous on-page body count adds to the fun, but the internal drama between rival hunters, nature preservationists, and locals adds an a-list blockbuster feel to the book. The budding romance weaved through the pages is also really sweet and will leave you with a smile on your face after you've grimaced at the copious gore.
It's also always fun to be inside the beast's head. I really don't have negatives for this story- but I'm also easy to please when my expectations align with, "This is a monster story. What more do I need?"

If you love anything by Michael Crichton (especially Jurassic Park or Congo) you will enjoy this book. Fans of Stephen King or Dean Koontz might also appreciate this book. If you enjoyed the Zoo series by James Patterson you will enjoy this book. If you are into thrillers and you want to get a tiny step closer to horror without the jump scares this book is for you. There is quite a bit of repetitive gore so if you step squeamish, this book is definitely not for you. I really enjoyed this book despite some of the repetitive language in attack scenes. It reads like a slightly more horror version of Michael Crichton and I had difficulty putting it down.
October 27, 2020
Four stars because the book delivers what it promises--lots of violent/horror action as our good guys (Catherine and Thomas) track down a monster, take on the scientific community, and win in the end.
Well-written, though the descriptions of the many deaths at the hands of the Shadow Beast are repetitive. What could the writer do, though? The beast has only one way of killing. Jaws had the same problem and solved it by having the shark appear at odd times and places. This does that a bit.
Would make a good horror film.
Not my genre, though.

Quite a neat little 'unknown animal on the loose and killing people' story, obviously setting the scene for a series, this one is decently written and gallops along at a hell of a pace. It does occasionally veer into cliche (snide and secretive government agent, cocky and doomed American hunters out of their depth) and the denouement is a little hard to swallow but it's an easy read and would make a pretty good Monster of the Week SyFy Channel show.
Will give the 'sequel' a go, at only £3.99 it doesn't break the bank.

A surprise thrill ride
Seeing as how this was the first Luke Phillips book I've read, at the suggestion of a friend, I wasn't sure what to expect. This is The Ghost and the Darkness in Scotland. The book races by, I read it in a single sitting, racing through the book at breakneck speed, never disappointed by the plot, characters, dialog or anything else. If you enjoy survival horror thrillers, put Shadow Beast at the top of your reading list, just make sure you have time to finish it without looking up from the page!

What is stalking animals and humans in the Scottish highlands?
Great creature thriller starring an insatiable big cat and the former big game hunter turned conservationist who is trying to stop it. Although this book was heavy on the gore committed by the beast, it allowed us the readers to see into it's mind and get a feel for its thoughts and feelings. A terrific first novel! I look forward to the next one.

Not my usual type of book
No , this was not my usual type of book as I usually only read fantasy I.e. vampires fairies ghosts etc , but I have to say that after the first three pages the book definitely caught my attention , I thoroughly enjoyed this book , it was exciting, also, a little bit of a love story but most of all the chase was fantastic. Would recommend this book to all types of readers
