Carnivore
Combustion
Thoughts:
My first time seeing this author's work was scrolling through Amazon in the horror section and I had grabbed his book "Love Wanes" (still need to read that one yet though) but then I picked up his book "Carnivore" and read that one. All I can say is "Wow" as that book kept me on the edge of my seat, but then he just released the book "Combustion" and I gobbled that one up too as that took me on one of hell of a ride! I have a few more to read by this author and will try to get to them soon.

Breach
Baker's Dozen Anthology (Candace Nola's story: County Contest)
Thoughts:
With this author she was referred to me by an author friend and they thought I would be interested in checking out her work, so I read her book Breach and then grabbed her book Baker's Dozen which is an anthology with different authors. Both books were really good and since then I own a couple or so more by this author. I just purchased her book "Bishop" over the weekend as I want to check it out hopefully next month. Looking forward to reading more of her work in the future.

Book Read:
Tales From the Parkland
Thoughts:
I came across this author over on Goodreads feeds as I had noticed a couple or so of my friends had read his book "Tales from the Parkland" and it looked interesting to me so I grabbed it. I was impressed with it and it is a book of short stories which I loved all of them. Looking forward to reading more books by him in the future.

Book Read:
Preternatural
Thoughts:
I had been seeing this book come across my feeds from Goodreads friends so I decided to check it out. This book has vampires in it and I really liked the book as it was a different type of vampire read filled with emotion, but it also has some "bite" to it as well - lol. There was quite a bit of blood and gore parts mixed throughout the book. At some point in the future I will be continuing on with the other two books as this book is the start of a trilogy and there are two more books out there.

Books Read:
Devil's Bait
Devil's Retribution
Thoughts:
My first time coming across this author was on Amazon as her book "Devil's Bait" popped up in my feed as I was looking for books that had to do with hauntings and that book seemed to be right up my alley so I grabbed it. I was not disappointed as it was a scary ride into the occult. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the book was in a series so I bought the rest of the series and just recently read the second book a couple or so months ago. I am planning on reading the rest of the series in the future.

Terror Threads
Thoughts:
This is another author that I have had his books simmering on my kindle for awhile and read his book "Terror Threads". The writing style just flowed along and just kept me suspended within the book! I have quite a few more books that are on my kindle by this author and planning on getting to them in the future.

Ode to Death
Thoughts:
My first taste of this author's works were from reading the books by KJK Publishing as author, Andrew Lennon has stories found throughout the anthology books put out by KJK Publishing. I have quite a few books that are simmering on my kindle that I need to read in the future along with also owning more books by KJK Publishing that has stories written by this author that are found within those pages.

Book Read:
The Gift of Death
Thoughts:
With this author I have been seeing quite a few different books come across my Goodreads feeds which I have added to my tbr, but decided to step into his book "The Gift of Death" a gory vampire book that I just had to read. Loved the writing style of this author as I read that book fairly quickly and looking forward to reading the other books he has out there.

Mirror
Charnel House
Thoughts:
I actually stepped into this author on the recommendation by a friend and wow I was so impressed that I added a few of this author's books to my kindle and have more that I can grab from the library as well. Both books "Mirror" and "Charnel House" were spooky and suspenseful. Both books kept me on the edge of my seat and I look forward to reading more of this author's books in the future.

Ghost Road Blues
Dead Man's Song
Thoughts:
This author's books have been coming across my Goodreads feeds for a few years now so I decided to step into the Pine Deep trilogy and so far have read the first two books. I need to read the third book yet which I am planning on doing sometime this year. The author wrote a zombie series too that I want to check out at some point as well. Looking forward to finish the Pine Deep trilogy as I really enjoyed books one and two.
Well that is wrap up for this blog of authors discovered.
Till next time - Happy Reading Everyone!
