The Mark (Supernatural Horror Novel Series)

Choose this at random wanting a change from my normal type of book and this was just the ticket. I'm not going through the story you'll have to read the book for that but it starts off at a cracking pace and builds all the way through to a neat if somewhat unexpected ending. I don't want to say it was a disappointing ending because it wasn't but a little bit more fear would have suited me personally, but it's a minor niggle. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a thumping good read ... oh and leave the lights on!

This is my review of The Mark Audiobook. This is also the first of Lee Mountford’s work that I’ve ever read/listened to. It certainly won’t be the last!!The Mark is a fast-paced, suspenseful horror story. L. Mountford has written The Mark in such a way that it gets you thinking as you read, it makes you pause and reflect from time to time, or at least pause and look over your shoulder. I did this more than once!!The Mark is a creepy and unsettling read, one of the best I’ve encountered for a while. That said for me I think the book/eBook would have been better for me, why? Because I don’t feel that the narrator does the book the justice it deserves, more annoyingly I can’t quite put my finger on why I feel like this. To me, it just felt off.But don’t let that put you off if you fancy the book. I intend to get myself a copy of the book; either in eBook or paperback; and read it myself, after I’ve read some of Lee Mountford’s other work.The actual writing of The Mark is really good. It’s easy to see that Lee has put in effort, research, thought and emotion whilst writing this. His characters have a good level of depth and are realistic.It’s easy to become totally immersed in the world that Lee Mountford has created, and his words grab your attention and hold you there in the thick of the plot until the very end.Overall this is a great creepy, check over your shoulder horror book. I’m looking forward to discovering more of this author work!

This was an amazingly frightening story, well written and fast paced with believable characters, I have never read any of this author's books but I will be reading all of them, brilliant writing and a fan for ever.

Was a really good read slow but once it got going couldn't put it down love his book before i finished it orderd another book of he's starting that tonight can't wait

Unfortunately, this book was not to my taste. I enjoy the supernatural, haunted houses and things that go bump in the night but this gore soaked tale left me cold. It reminded me of some late night B movie from the "Horror Channel". I can't fault the author's imagination and the book will, no doubt, be praised by hard core horror fans. But, it wasn't for me.

Brilliant horror story with lots of twist! Would definitely recommend that you read this book if you like horror and like being scaredLooking forward to the next book of the series

This is the third book I’ve read of Lee’s and I have to say he’s a bloody good writer. The characters have depth, he can paint horrifying pictures with his words and he doesn’t fall into cliches. Impressive, about to start another one of his books!

People liken Lee Mountford's work to that of Clive Barker. Those people are wrong. I've read all of Lee's novels to date and, as an avid fan of the horror genre, hand on heart, Mr Mountford's writing is far greater. With each novel he produces, his writing improves immensely. Traditional publishing houses take note; this is horror at its best, this is British writing at its best, this is British Horror at its best. This is Lee Mountford. If you want vivid, fast paced writing, which entertains while still being scary as heck, without the pretentious drivel (something rare these days), The Mark is the book for you.Duncan Thompson.

Just finished this book and recovering from the ride! I couldn’t put it down! The ending was amazing! This book had me caught in the first chapter and each subsequent chapter was SO good! Strong female protagonists and spooky creatures are included. Note: pentagrams are not inherently evil. The author’s occult theme was used to further the story, but as a practicing Pagan, I felt the need to mention that. And occult does not necessarily = evil. Still highly recommend this book for a scare!

Good book !Good story with interresting twist and turns but not enouf Horror for my taste! Will still read other book from Lee Mountford.

Quickly finished reading this short book which was very good except it ended with a whimper instead of a big bang and there were too many spelling errors which marred the plot of the story but l will continue reading this authors books in the future in the hope they will get better

This was the second book I read from Mountford. It kept my attention and always had me wanting to know more to keep me reading. The characters again were realistic. Their actions matched their personalities which was nice because that isn't always the case in some stories. The only thing I'm not really a fan of with Mouhtford's 2 books I've read was both had sexual assault scenarios. Even when he was cutting the mark into her it had him think about that (which later didn't make sense with his personality and why he was doing the mark). I understood the reasoning behind it in The Demonic as it was the demon forcing it. But I felt that it could have been done without in The Mark. Dom could have simply emotionally or physically abused her without the sexual assault. Especially since it was continuously brought up later with her nightmares. It didn't add anything necessary to the story other than me wondering if I want to read anymore of the author since both books I've read so far of his had sexual assault. Other than that the story, characters, and settings were all on point and enjoyable.

Once again Lee Mountford has captured the unexpected. It’s another thrilling, keep you guessing as to what will happen next!
