Publisher's Summary

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?

Gritty and real

Black Marks is a gripping foray into Pete Aldin’s compellingly written urban fantasy about a werewolf struggling to do something good with his life. The book weaves the dark and intricate tale of Jake Brennan, a man grappling with his inner demons, into the gritty backdrop of Detroit. Aldin’s narrative is compelling and nuanced, the setting real, and he offers a powerful take on the Jekyll/Hyde aspects of werewolf lore that feels both familiar and innovative.
The pacing is brisk with a plot that keeps you wanting more, while the characters are well-developed and their motivations fleshed out, making them relatable and their struggles tangible.
I listened to the audiobook and found narrator is perfect for this story, bringing the story to life by capturing the story’s essence and the harshness of Jake’s life.
Overall, Black Marks is a solid read and I’d recommend it to anyone who loves gritty urban fantasy stories with deep characters and well-crafted setting. It’s a story that stays with you. Whether you’re a fan of werewolves or just good fiction, this book is worth your time.
