Wolf Hunt

by Jeff Strand

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

Some comedy with my horror is always appreciated. And Lou and George provided plenty. It came as a surprise since they’re a couple of tough guys. The kind who work for people who stay under the law’s radar. Their assignment, deliver a werewolf to a man in Florida. No problem since they don’t believe in werewolves. The jokes on them.

What a blast. I had some laughs. Cringed at some of the carnage. Loved the wicked werewolf. And actually rooted for the bad guys, George and Lou. Hey, they made me laugh. And they dealt out some gratuitous bloodshed. I’d love to read more about those two. Maybe next time they’ll deal with a Sasquatch. One can always wish.

4 STARS

Synopsis

Two thugs. One innocent woman. And one VICIOUS frickin’ werewolf. Meet George and Lou, thugs for hire. The kind of intimidating-yet-friendly guys who will break your thumbs, but be polite about it. Their latest assignment is to drive across Florida to deliver some precious cargo to a crime lord. The a man in a cage. Though Ivan seems perfectly human, they’re warned that he is, in fact, a bloodthirsty werewolf. George and Lou don’t believe in the supernatural, but even if they did, it’s daytime and tonight isn’t the full moon. Their instructions are Do not open the cage. Do not reach into the cage. Do not throw anything into the cage. And they don’t. Unfortunately, Ivan doesn’t play by the usual werewolf rules, and the thugs find themselves suddenly responsible for a ferocious escaped beast. One who can transform at will. One who enjoys killing in human form as much as he enjoys killing as a monster. If George and Lou want to save their careers, dozens of people, and their own lives, they need to recapture him. Because Ivan the werewolf is in the mood for a murder spree… From Jeff Strand, the four-time Bram Stoker Award nominated author of PRESSURE, comes 75,000 words of action-packed, blood-soaked werewolf terror!

Tentacles And Teeth

The Szornyek #1

by Ariele Sieling

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

So, it’s after the apocalypse occurred. I get that. I just wish the world building would have been more detailed. I’m not even sure when this took place. That kind of stayed with me.

What was the apocalypse? Not sure what caused it but I liked where the author went. Not a plague or zombies or the other usual scenarios. It was monsters. Loved that.

How the story flowed. Pretty good. Especially scenes with the monsters. And the character dialogue.

Overall. I enjoyed this and seeing as it’s the first in a series, I’d give the next one a try.

One last thing. The cover. Is that killer or what!

3 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

The apocalypse wasn’t what anyone expected–no rising flood waters, no zombies, no nuclear bombs. Instead, monsters. Their sudden invasion left the world in shatters, and now, decades later, all that’s left of human civilization are a few nomadic bands struggling to survive off the land. Askari was born to this world, and lives, fights, and survives alongside the community that raised her. But when she breaks one too many of the community’s rules, her punishment is leave. Armed with her bow and blade, Askari sets off alone, guided only by a map and the promise that if she can find a book hidden in a nearby town, then she can return. But what can one person do alone in such a harsh, violent landscape? How will she survive? Askari faces a challenge that will force her to learn not only about the world she lives in, but question what she believes about herself.

Teeth Of The Sea

by Tim Waggoner

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

Did you see that cover? Holy cow! I spotted it and had to check it out. Then I saw who the author was and made my purchase. I’ve read other books by Tim and had faith this would be another good one.

The scenario. A resort built on an island. Remote. Fancy. So much to do. And surrounded by water…. jump right in. Or not. There’s something ancient in the water. It’s hungry. But wait. You aren’t safe on land either. And there’s a storm coming with the potential to flood the streets. Uh Oh.

I jumped in. The book, not the water. I’m no fool. I have to say I appreciate it when the author gives me human chum to shake my head at. Someone has to feed the creatures and I thought some of their foolish choices were believable. People do the strangest things and don’t think anything bad will happen to them.

There were some cool characters too. Some with smarts and a drive to destroy the creatures. That’s where the suspense came in. Would they survive? I sure hoped so but, the author isn’t afraid to feed his characters to the beast.

It was a blast. No dull moments. Fortuitous mayhem. And some really cool creatures.

4 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

They glide through dark waters, sleek and silent as death itself. Ancient predators with only two desires – to feed and reproduce. They’ve traveled to the resort island of Las Dagas to do both, and the guests make tempting meals. The humans are on land, though, out of reach. But the resort’s main feature is an intricate canal system . . .

. . . and it’s starting to rain.

NOS4A2

by Joe Hill

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

This book is huge. Almost 700 pages. Sure didn’t feel like it when I read it. Took me two days, only because I had to work.

Fitting that the cover is a license plate on a vehicle as the plot was as fast paced as a drag race. Whew. When there was a break in the pace it still kept me enthralled. The characters were superbly written and there was no predicting what might be coming.

It’s so easy to give this a high rating and to urge you to pick it up if you haven’t yet.

5 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

NOS4A2 is a spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of horror Joe Hill, the New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box and Horns.

Victoria McQueen has a secret gift for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. On her Raleigh Tuff Burner bike, she makes her way to a rickety covered bridge that, within moments, takes her wherever she needs to go, whether it’s across Massachusetts or across the country.

Charles Talent Manx has a way with children. He likes to take them for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the NOS4A2 vanity plate. With his old car, he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.”

Then, one day, Vic goes looking for trouble—and finds Manx. That was a lifetime ago. Now Vic, the only kid to ever escape Manx’s unmitigated evil, is all grown up and desperate to forget. But Charlie Manx never stopped thinking about Victoria McQueen. He’s on the road again and he’s picked up a new passenger: Vic’s own son.

Spiral

by Randy Dean Noble

Genre: Horror / Thriller

Synopsis

They’re in the number one watched game in the world… or so they were told. But they have no memory of who or where they are. Something beyond their wildest imaginations awaits to mercilessly strike them down. And looming in the darkness is something worse… much worse.

Green—named after the color of car he’s driving—awakens on the side of a dark highway surrounded by dense forest. And he’s in an old muscle car with no way to tell time, no cell phone, and the radio doesn’t work. When he encounters others like himself, they have to join forces to unravel the mystery surrounding them. Yet, trust doesn’t come easily—someone amongst them is a saboteur.

With their lives at stake, they are compelled to engage in a race where being last means certain death. They must disentangle the truth that threatens to consume them, before they spiral out of control.

Spiral is a gripping tale of survival, coalition, and the terrifying secrets that lie hidden in the shadows.

Prepare for a rip-roaring, adrenaline-fueled ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

If you enjoy books by authors like Dean Koontz and Blake Crouch that involve supernatural thrills laced with fast-paced action, then check out Randy Dean Noble’s exciting horror thriller, Spiral, today.

Enjoy this peek inside:

A high-pitched scream pierced the air. And it wasn’t the creature. It was a human scream. A woman’s scream.

I ran. It was very close.

“Justin,” Blue said. “WAIT!”

I ran full tilt, Blue’s words not an option. Without a thought about the creature, I dashed out onto the highway, outside the protective barrier. The scream had come from the left.

It was pitch black, but I still had the flashlight from the bunker. I turned the light on, pointed it up the highway, and bolted forward.

I heard a car start up. Probably Blue.

I didn’t know I could run so fast, and I wasn’t panting too heavily yet. The checkpoint was a white glow above the tree line when I turned my head and glanced back while continuing to run forward.

And then there it was, Black’s car. She had stopped right in the lane, and all I could think of was someone or something had blocked her path. Otherwise, why didn’t she pull over to the shoulder? As I came up to her car, I panned the flashlight. There were no skid marks—she didn’t slam on the brakes.

The driver’s side door was wide open.

Darkness encompassed the area like a shroud, like a living thing closing in. Without my light, I’d be tripping over myself.

A car rumbled nearby, getting louder. Headlights soon blazed around me, which was a relief, the darkness no longer pushing at my back. I didn’t wait, flashing my light inside Black’s vehicle. Nothing seemed out of place, no sign of a struggle, no blood.

About Author Randy Dean Noble:

Randy Dean Noble is a supernatural thriller kind of guy. He grew up in Canada on a slew of movies and books (action/adventure, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy), all of which have inspired his writing interests. Working a plethora of minimum wage jobs took Randy into computer science and a career in I.T. (because he didn’t want to eat PB&J for the rest of his life). But his passion has always been writing, and his dream is to be a full-time fiction author. He writes stories he wants to read, which end up as fast-paced thrilling escape stories meant for one thing: to entertain the reader from beginning to end. His most recent work, Spiral, is a horror thriller wild ride you won’t soon forget.

Snowblind II

The Killing Grounds

by Michael McBride

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

I loved Snowblind so it was an easy decision to read the second book, Killing Grounds. First off, take a gander and the freakin’ cover. I love it.

Second. It’s a found footage story. John missed the ski trip and his buddies and girlfriend disappear. Seven years later the footage is discovered and points him in a direction to search for them.

Third. There are some interesting characters helping John in his search, including a tracker and her dog, a technician, and Sheriff Dayton. The footage was found at a cabin and the Sheriff has a connection with it. Something that occurred in the past.

Then things start to really ramp up. A snowstorm is on the way. They’re miles from help. And whatever caused the group’s disappearance seven years ago is now hunting them. Curious what it is. Take a look at the cover again. Bloody mayhem is fast approaching and I loved every word of this story.

5 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

There are some places man was never meant to go.

For the past seven years, John Avery has been combing the wilderness for any sign of his missing girlfriend, who set out upon the ski trip of a lifetime and was never seen again.

Regions utterly isolated by geography and time.

The discovery of a video camera prompts Sheriff Wayne Dayton to dispatch a search party into one of the most remote areas of the Rockies in hopes of learning her fate.

Where few species can survive.

When a freak blizzard strikes, they find themselves wandering blindly into the killing grounds of a predator they can’t even see.

Snowblind

by Michael McBride

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

“They come at night.”

“And no one ever survives to betray their existence.”

Catch your attention yet? It sure caught mine. I ate this scenario up. Four guys go on their annual elk hunt in the Rocky Mountains. I love it when the environment of cold and snow plays a role in survival. There are some other hunters out there. But it’s not elk there after. The have a different trophy in mind. There’s a beast out there. Who’s hunting who?

I loved this book. From the first page I was rubbing my hands together, excited and eager. And the author didn’t let me down. I loved this book. It read so fast yet I still became familiar with the characters. Rollicking good fun.

5 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

They come at night.

Forward.

A stranger staggers out of the wilderness under the cover of a blizzard and stumbles into a diner full of people. He collapses in the entryway, unzips his jacket, and allows the object hidden inside to fall out. Screaming commences.

Down.

Four old college buddies embark upon their annual elk hunting trip into the Rocky Mountains. This promises to be their last, for the passage of time is as merciless and unpredictable as the Colorado weather. And they’re not alone.

Help.

There are other hunters in the mountains, stalking game of a different breed. They know exactly what they’re doing, because they’ve been hunting in these woods for a long, long time. And no one ever survives to betray their existence.

Alligator

by Shelley Katz

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

I love finding oldies like this when scouring the shelves at my favorite used book store. What a fun cover. Take a close look. It says $1.95. You can’t purchase it anymore unless you’re lucky like I was.

The Everglades. An inhospitable swamp where it seems like everything wants to kill you. I love it when the location and nature are a character all their own. In the beginning… the author gives you carnage. A huge alligator is munching on people. Then you’re introduced to a bunch of characters. Some aren’t that important but some play a pivotal role in pushing the story forward. And forward it races like a bat out of…. you know what I mean.

Two men. The Everglades. Danger everywhere. And a giant crocodile hunting them. It’s them against nature. It’s man against man. And it’s freakin’ wild.

5 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

The Everglades – Florida’s Green Hell, a kingdom of infested swamps ruled by a hideous reptile king: ALLIGATOR!

The ‘gator was a twenty-foot giant. His jaws could crush a powerful man to pulp. His lashing tail could smash a tree to matchwood. And his brutal, mindless lust for killing was insatiable.

No man who had gone hunting the devil of the Everglades had come back alive. But Lee Ferris and Rye Whitman were different. Violent death to them was a challenge and they were drawn inexorably together by a mutual hatred and need that would give them no rest. Until they had met—and conquered—the most savage nightmare the swamps had ever known…

ALLIGATOR is a drama-filled saga of savage action and nerve-wrenching suspense—the greatest novel of courageous man against murderous beast since JAWS.

Whisper

by Raymond Van Over

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

This one is a blast from the past. I scour the shelves at used book stores looking for ones like this. It was published in 1991 and has that old book smell. Yippee!

And the story. Yes! It was everything I’d hoped it would be. It started tragically. Brion, a young boy, saw his dog, Whisper, deliberately run over. But Whisper didn’t stay dead. He came back. But different. And deadly.

The cover caught my eye. The synopsis hooked me. The beginning reeled me in. I was wrapped up in it. Then I remembered I was standing in a bookstore. I took my treasure to the counter and made my purchase. I wanted to start reading the moment I got home. I waited. If it was as good as I hoped, I wanted to have the time to read it straight through. Turns out the wait was the right move. I did read it straight through and it was a most satisfying read from beginning to end.

5 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

When Brion’s dog, Whisper, is hit by a car, ancient magic from a mysterious stranger seems to cure the pet’s wounds–but it also turns the animal into a predator with an insatiable thirst for human blood

Yuletide Invasion

by J.C. Moore

Genre: Horror / Short Stories / Science Fiction /

MY REVIEW

I could tell the author had the same love for B-movie horror and science fiction just by looking at the cover. Take a look at it. So cool!

The book is short so it’s going to be a short review. Don’t want to spoil it for you.

Baby, it’s cold outside. And the creature is stirring. I love wintry settings where the weather plays a pivotal role. And when the people gather together for warmth and safety. That’s where those group dynamics come out to play. I’m always into seeing who does what. And let’s not forget the creature. I probably shouldn’t tell you this but, I couldn’t wait for it to make an appearance and see what it would do.

Something fun. I was watching Dark Was The Night while writing this review. A blizzard is coming. The people gather for warmth and safety. And something monstrous is coming. Made this story even creepier. And I love creepy.

4 STARS

~~~~~

Synopsis

A blizzard pounds upstate New York. The wind moans and the never stopping snow…and blood…pile up.
The weather forces strangers from different walks of life to shelter from the storm as a monstrous creature crashes their festivities. The being inhabits the bodies of the slain like a malicious virus.

This isn’t a night for Santa and children’s smiles as evil delivers a whole new meaning to a “night before Christmas!”
