Welcome to My Monday Minis where I share short reviews about books I’ve read.
I couldn’t resist the title and synopsis for this one.

Conquest
by Robbie Dorman
Genre: Horror
My Review
This book is chock full of action and some bloody good horror.
Imagine a wildfire threatening your town. It’s approaching fast and it’s time to get out. But, a group of strangers aren’t having any of it, They see the fire as an opportunity to unleash their inner beast. To rend, tear and feed. They’re shapeshifters with long sharp claws and very big teeth.
As with most horror stories, there’s the character’s you want to survive, those that you really hope don’t and the ones doing all the deciding. It all adds fuel to the fire as the flames approach and each has to decide what side they’re on. It sure made for a super fast and wild read.
This would be such fun as a movie and I had a blast. I’ll definitely be watching for more from the author.
