When I first started checking out horror indie authors I had been seeing this book quite a bit come across my feeds over on Goodreads: "Children of the Dark". So I decided to check it out myself and "wow" I was not disappointed! I flew through the book and I loved it so much that I gave it five stars which landed the book on my favorites shelf. Since then I have explored more by this author and now I have a few of his books sitting on my kindle that need to be read.

This is author kept flitting across my Goodreads feeds and I just had to go check her work out. My first book by her was "Linden Manor" which I read back in 2018 and my goodness, I was impressed! Her writing style just grabbed me from the first chapter and swept me away to the end of the book. It was one of the best gothic reads that I had read in a long time and made me reminiscent of years gone by when I use to read gothic books when I was younger. I have a few more of her books on my kindle that are waiting to be read.

This is author I didn't really see come across my Goodreads feeds - I was just cruising around on Amazon one day a couple of years ago (I do that quite often) and came across a book called: "Halloween Horror Shorts: Trick 'r Treat" which is an anthology of short stories by different authors. I was quite impressed with all the stories and found some new authors in the process. Now as of this blog I have 14 more books waiting to be read on my kindle.

I had been seeing this author's books come across my Goodreads feeds for a long time but just hadn't stepped into his work until way back last year I read his book "Blood Kin" which was awesome! I love the writing style of the author and within minutes of reading the story I was captured by how smooth the storyline just flowed along. I have since added all his books to my tbr (to be read) shelf as now I am hooked for life!

My Goodreads feeds were lighting up with this author quite a bit about two years ago with some different books by him, but the book that I wanted to really try out was "Prank Night" as the blurb of the book just seemed right up my alley so I tried it out. Well I can tell you that I wasn't disappointed as the book turned out to be a extreme bloody romp which kept me glued to my kindle and my chair. This author has a few more "up my alley" books that I have added to my tbr shelf and I have a few of his books simmering on my kindle.
Books Read:

Wow! This author has the writing style to pull you into his world right away. I had been seeing his book "Scalp" come across my facebook feeds about a year ago and the blurb sounded so good and different that I went right away to grab the book. I scratched a lot through it (lol) but the story was awesome along with some blood and gore which almost takes this book over into an extreme level. I have added a few more of his books to my tbr and actually have a few on my kindle ready to go.

This author I have had his books for a long time which is about four years or so and just now stepping into his work. I decided to read his book Put on a Happy Face as it is a short story and I finished it within one day. Then stepped into his Baker Johnson series and read the first three books in the series which I really liked and I have one more book to read in that series. I was happy that I finally stepped into his work and I have a few more books by him that are simmering on my kindle.
