Five "Splatter" Stars

Blood and Gore!

A small taste of what is inside:

Shane is on the vacation of his life with celebrating his 21st birthday, but when he decides to get a tattoo that has a goddess deity which is suppose to bring bad luck is when things go from good to bad quickly!

That is about all I can give on a small taste without giving away spoilers so if you want to know more then go read this book!

Thoughts:

This was a new author to me and I was pleasantly surprised with not only how fast I became captured in the storyline, but how the story just flowed along!  Very impressed with the descriptions of the blood splatter that arises within these pages as there is tons of it and I thought I had fallen into a blood pool of body parts as that is how descriptive the author gets with this story!

Twisted and fast paced gore action that I would suggest not eating before you read this book! Not a good idea at all! Trust me on this as I am not kidding - imagine throwing blood into a giant fan and turning the fan on high speed! Yeah - see - that is what I am talking about!

Ice Shadows by William Massa

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Freezing" Stars

Wow! This series is just rocking along and this next book "Ice Shadows" was a short story but packed a wallop of action! This book is considered a novella, but it has just as much action between the pages as the books that have more length. 

A very small taste of what is inside:

Mark Talon has come up against a black metal musician that has learned how to use the occult magic to control mother nature and Mark has to use all his wits to battle this villain.

That is about all I can give on this book as you can read my full review on Goodreads for more insight of what takes place within this story.

Thoughts:

This series just keeps getting better and I am impressed with how the author keeps creating not only the settings of each adventure but how he creates the villains that use the occult powers. Each villain so far as been able to harness something different within the occult and it makes for very interesting reading of what the author comes up with next!

Apocalypse Solider (Occult Assassin #2) by William Massa

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Fireburst" Stars

Wow!!! The second book just grabbed me from the get-go as it took off like a lightning bolt and energized my reading of this story! 

A small taste of what is inside:

Mark Talon is back on another hair-raising adventure and this time he has to rescue a young woman from the clutches of a crazed demonic super soldier and his clan of cultists. Things heat up in this second book as Mark has to figure out how to kill this new villain as physical power doesn't seem to work as it is almost like trying to fight smoke. The cultists in this story are far more powerful than the cultists that were in book one, Damnation Code. Mark has his work cut out for him in this book and the heat is on as the fires of hell are nipping at his heels! 

I know - that was far more than a small taste, but I got on a description roll! lol 

Thoughts:

This series is just loaded with action along with having the horror aspect of the occult seeped into the books with all the demon activity that goes on, but it is not like scary demon horror, just a little different with all the weapons and action involved. So far this series is rocking along and I will continue to make my way through the rest of the series. The next book is Ice Shadows which is seems to be a short story, so heading into that book next. Though all the books can be read as stand alone as all the stories seem to wrap up within one book as least so far from what I have seen with the first two books. So I will see how that goes as time moves on with the rest of the series.

Damnation Code (Occult Assassin #1) by William Massa

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Action-Packed" Stars

Better the second time around!

A small taste of what lies within this book:

Mark Talon is with the Delta Force and he decides to come home to be with his girlfriend (Michelle) as he is wanting to ask her to marry him. Michelle is a reporter with a newspaper and she is in the middle of a breaking story. Mark and Michelle don't get a chance to be together long as things turn sour real quick when Michelle is brutally murdered.

Mark then goes into vengeance mode as he wants to track down and kill the murderers. In steps Simon Casca, a billionaire that seems to know details of not only Mark's life but Michelle's life as well. Simon knows who might be behind the murder and there have been more murders as well that have been happening and he wants to see justice done. Mark finds out from Simon that the murders are somehow connected to a cult that deals in the occult and to take out the cult then Mark has to learn the dark arts as physical power will not work at all against the cultists.

That is about all I can give out on a small backstory so if you are intrigued then go read this book and start of this series!

Thoughts:

This story kicks off with a bang and the story stays full throttle throughout the book. This was my second time reading this book as I remember loving this series, so it is time for a reread as it has been awhile.

Lots of action abounds within these pages and through the whole book it was just one thing right after another! The visual aspects of the story itself just comes alive on the pages and I love the character Mark Talon as he is like The Punisher on steroids! This is one bad ass guy! You cannot knock down Mark Talon as he will just keep on coming till he gets what he wants!

Once again this book kept my insomnia fueled a few days and nights as I just could not seem to put the book down! Looking forward to rereading the rest of the series.

My Review

The Farm by Amy Cross

 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Haunting" Stars

This was a great haunting book, by author, Amy Cross as I read this book back in 2018 and I had already been stepping a little into her world, so the cover is what mainly drew me in but the story is what captured me.

A small taste of what is inside:

The past steps on the heels of the present with this story as some terrible things happen to three sisters in the past resulting in the farm becoming haunted in the future. 

That is about I can dish out on here as you can read my full review over on Goodreads with more insight into the story.

Author, Amy Cross knows how to weave ghost stories as she is able to bring everything to life in the story. The visual aspects of her stories not only bring the "pages alive" but you can feel the atmosphere of the hauntings surround you.

Loch Ness Revenge by Hunter Shea

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Five "Action Packed Gore Fest" Stars

What Lies Down in the Ocean?

A small taste of what lies within:

Natalie and Austin McQueen (the twins) were young when they saw their parents eaten by the Loch Ness Monster. Now that they are older and have the financial means to do what they want, they decide to go on a hunting trip back to the area where their parents died.

The twins find more than they bargained for as during their hunt, they not only find one, but a few monsters. Austin decides to enlist his friend, Henrick, to help with the hunt as Henrick's family also perished from the monsters and what they will go through to track down all the monsters is an endurance beyond belief!

That is about all I can hand out with a small taste so if you are intrigued then go read this book!

Thoughts:

The master of "creature feature" strikes again! Author, Hunter Shea knows how to grab the reader and pull them into his brain. Once you enter there truly is no escape! 

Author, Hunter Shea just has a certain way of grabbing the reader which normally happens in the first chapter of his books and then hurling that reader straight into the jaws of whatever creature is waiting in his stories! You can always expect lots of bodies, blood, and gore! Which is perfect for any horror fan! 

So if you are in the mood to be taken on a ride into creature territory then check out this book!
