This is an original and satisfying ghastly yarn about serial killers who are human part of the time...they turn into werewolves. A star detective gets on the case and ends up...well, that would be telling! The offbeat characters of the identical twins -of the Havasupai Indian tribe- add to the mystery. The author knows her Indian ways, and comes up with some wild twists and turns under Sister Moon. Eeeek!!
Author Arthur Myers

BEASTS is the first adult novel I read completely through, and got me interested in reading. It was just in manuscript form when I read it many years ago, the author is my mother.

I have gotten positive reviews from the other soldiers in camp where a copy of this book has been donated.

Thanks Mom!

"Beasts" takes an unusual look at werewolves, and pulls no punches with the grisly details. While not for the squeamish, anyone who enjoys a good scare will love this book. There isn't a dull moment, and the characters are carefully developed so that the reader cares about them. The dialog is excellent. More importantly, there are unexpected twists and turns that make it impossible to figure out the ending without cheating. In particular, the Native American lore is fascinating and makes sense, which contributes to the goosebumps and the reader's tendency to jump at shadows! This isn't a thick book, which is just as well, as it is impossible to put it down once it is started! The ending is totally unexpected, and leaves the reader hoping for a sequel. This is an excellent first novel by a very promising writer.

I was impressed by the knowledge the writer had and all the research that must have been done. I found the book scary and I wanted more when I had finished reading it. It isn't very long and I liked that because I didn't have to leave what I was reading I could go on and get all the thrills.

I found the book exciting and suspenseful. The characters felt real and alive to me. The author doesn't go on any long drawn out tangents, but gets to the meat of the story. I really enjoyed it!

I thought this book was excellent!! It had a great pace and kept you wanting to read. The character(all of them) had good backround information, just enough about them to let you know where they where coming from and why they were who they were. If you like to be kept on edge, read this book! I can't wait for the next one!

Beasts was a very interesting and enjoyable take on this subject. The story flowed quite well and I thought the character development was well thought out and executed. I was able to connect on an emotional level with each of the major characters. I can't wait for the sequel.
