Blood Run, First Promise – Book One in the Blood Run Trilogy by Christine Dougherty

It is 1985 and the United States is reeling from a disease that has taken huge, bloody bites out of the country as people are changed into vampires. The survivors have grouped together in remote outposts and the National Guard is the lifeline that runs between the outposts, bringing news and supplies.

In Wereburg, New York, a young woman named Destiny Riser has lost her parents in the plague but saved her little brother, Chance. But the outpost she brings him to is still young and learning and in an accident of fate, it is ravaged by vampires. Destiny sees her brother bit and changed and from that moment on, rechristens herself ‘Promise’ and vows to release Chance from his nightmare, nighttime existence.

With the assistance of her black horse, Ash, she combs the barren forests surrounding Wereburg and even her old development, Willow’s End, searching for Chance; desperate to end his misery. But then the National Guard brings a stranger to Wereburg, a man who is purportedly a fabled ‘half and half’–someone who has been bit but who has at least a partial immunity to the disease. That man will change everything that Promise believes.

    Toby by Amber Drappier

    0 out of 5

    A stunning collection of twelve stories, designed and crafted to keep you entertained late into the night. This fictional series will test your limits and boundaries, as everyday situations develop and transform into something far more sinister than you can imagine.

    From the things that live under (or in!) your bed, to your children’s imaginary friends. Can the city survive the likes of Captain Morris? And what is to become of the world when the underground no longer exists? Perhaps the answer is to escape to an alternate reality, but is escape even possible?

    Toby takes you into a nightmarish wonderland of horror where things are never what they seem, and the very concept of reality, is nothing more than a murky tub of putrid bathwater.

    The Heart of Hannen: Book I in The Atriian Trilogy by Fawn Bonning

    0 out of 5

    * Awarded Runner-Up in romance – 2014 New York Book Festival

    An epic tale of dark fantasy, erotic romance, and horror.

    Christine is a troubled teen with a dark past. She is miserable in her small town where she feels destined to live her life as an outcast.

    She has no idea that her true destiny lies in a different town . . . and in a different world, a most brutal world called Atriia. There she will learn the true meaning of misery, the true meaning of loneliness and shame.

    And in the arms of a most unlikely candidate, she will also learn the true meaning of love.

    He is Hannen Fallier, the one they call the foul fraigen dropper, revered by men for his fearless feats, yet looked upon by women with open disdain. With a face horribly mauled, he hides behind a mask of shame, deeming himself unworthy of love.

    That he would seek acceptance from Christine is irony in its purest form. That he would seek her love . . . the ultimate betrayal.

    **Mature subject matter**

    **Warning – Enter Atriia at your own risk, but beware, it is not for the faint of heart. If you do decide to brave your way within, you will need the aid of the dictionary located at the back of the book.
