"Page turning psychological thriller, you can’t put it down!! Byron Lear draws you in from page one and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I couldn’t help but root for Daniel....is he a manipulating psychopath? Is he a victim of his gut wrenching childhood, a tortured soul who stands up to abusers and takers that remind him of his past and his own demons? Will Dr Merell overcome his fear and be able to help Daniel without going down his own black hole? Is Dr Merell just a pawn in Daniel’s way? The relationship between the two hits you with nuances of Clarice Sterling and Dr Hannibal Lecter!!! Adding to the thrill and mystery, are locations from your backyard if you reside in the Ohio valley. Byron Lear is sure to hit the best sellers list with works like this and I can not wait for his next endeavor!!!"
"I've been searching for a book I couldn't put down and this was it!
From the very beginning I was drawn into Daniels world. It was all too real and not in a pleasant way.
Plus, I'm a fan of twists and turns and not knowing whats coming next and this didn't disappoint. There was a reason to keep reading, to learn how the story unfolds.
Think I have a new favorite author"
"As an avid reader, I have been disappointed lately with the lack of originality lately in my purchases. Chivalrous Intent, along with Byron Lear's compilation, Out of the asylum - Stories & poems Vol I ... Has completely engaged me into a new passion for reading. There is something in this writers mind that brings me to an undoubted curiosity of where these words come from. How much of these stories must actually involve his real life. As it's known with Stephen King (Write what you know) I have to wonder to what extent this author has lived and experienced these tragedies, trials, and tribulations. 5 Stars from me and I can't wait for the next offering from Byron Lear!"
"What a great read. Very Stephen king like but edgier with elaborate writing and attention to detail that will knock Anne Rice out of the running. Written so descriptively you can imagine and feel the terror and plight of the main character. Great read, I give it 5 stars!!!!!"
"Astonishing! Let me be blunt, I don't read books, but somehow, I read this one. Incredible piece of work, I had to keep reading it because it was that good. Without giving away details, the ending is a real shocker........if you buy this, don't read the ending, you will ruin it for yourself, lol"
"Amazing! Loved this book. Kept me interested all the way. Byron has a way of writing about an idea without complicating it. If you get a chance read it, for the price it's a steal. Can not wait for the next one!!"
"Amazing! Another amazing read from Mr. Lear. I was hooked from the start and the ending was perfect! On the edge of my chair the entire time. Loved, loved, loved it!!!!"
"Twisted! Fast-paced short story with dark twists into a dark mind. Kept me engaged and wanting to keep turning the page. A great, short read!"
"Find the animal in you ~ Lear does a great job of bringing you the story from all different sides. Reading Byron Lear, I would think I was reading Dean Koontz, if I did not know who the author was. Again, just like Mantis, Lear could have made this a full fledged novel if he chose to, and it would have held me in suspense the whole time!"
