“Bernhardt also avoids most of the standard cliches and tropes of the vampire novel while still respecting the genre and its sources.“ – Adam Gold (Behind Blue Eyes Book 1) by Sara J. Bernhardt

 

Fleeing the French invasion of Geneva Switzerland in the 1700s, Adam Gold books Passage to America with his family. On the ship, Adam’s daughter falls fatally ill. A mysterious man comes to Adam with a way to save his child by turning Adam into something darker than human.

Ron Miller

 A good story well told

“Adam Gold” is a good story that is well-told, which is probably the best thing that can be said about any novel. The dialog is sharply and realistically written…which is probably the main reason the characters seem so well-drawn, realistic and sympathetic. Bernhardt also avoids most of the standard cliches and tropes of the vampire novel while still respecting the genre and its sources. The author especially has a deft touch with the language. I found myself stopping often to savor a particularly original…and often moving…passage. Indeed, much of the effectiveness, mood, emotion and characterization comes from Bernhardt’s adept skill at writing.

Captivating Vampires

The imagery in this book was tangible and the story kept me racing through to the end. This one packs a tragic punch for sure. Poor, beautiful Adam. I enjoyed the twists on vampires and the unexpected turns along the way. I’m really looking forward to reading more of this author’s work and seeing the story continue to unfold!

Sometimes wishing for a different life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. People often imagine what it would be like to be a vamp and have a glorious life but they don’t realize the dark sides of those fantasies. I wouldn’t want to be in Adam’s shoes.

“I highly recommend Kevin’s books to any and all fantasy lovers. He puts a fresh spin on his books in a difficult genre to carve a path in.’ – Winters of Alnora: Birth of the Dark Angel (The Chronicles of Azulia Book 1) by Kevin J. Kessler

With a hunger for power and a quest to leave her traumatizing life behind, Alnora begins an apprenticeship that will change the course of her life.

.
Behold the account of four winters that shaped a traumatized young girl into the most powerful magical force to ever exist. A new Dark Angel shall be born in Azulia, and the heavens themselves will tremble at her feet.

Fantastic dark fantasy

I’ve been in reading slump for a few months when I spied a post from Kevin about a different series. He was very kind telling me about Winters of Alnora.
I had previously read 3 of the Rosinanti series( books 1, 1.5 and 2). So I had a feel for the writing style of the author.
As a dark fantasy, expect dark themes throughout.
Kevin made it so easy to empathize with Alnora right from the opening lines. He can transport you to this world, I totally immersed myself in the story, when you actually feel cold just from the words you read, that is a job well done from the author.
This is a short story, it made passing time through a storm fly by.
I highly recommend Kevin’s books to any and all fantasy lovers. He puts a fresh spin on his books in a difficult genre to carve a path in.
I don’t know if there will be any more books in this series, but I would very much welcome more.
Fantastic job Kevin J. Kessler.
Now, I have another Rosinanti book to get into. Grab these books, I am so very happy to have found them.

“I have always loved Lawrencovna’s writing, and this one is the best so far!” – Lost Boys: A Second Star Story: A M/M Fantasy Reimagining of Captain Hook by Andi Lawrencovna

 

There is a story of a boy who never grew up. A boy who crossed worlds by learning to fly and fought pirates with a fairy at his side.
This is not that story.
This is the story of a man who took to the seas to escape his past and avoid his future, and the elf who dared to cross hooks with the pirate lord of the deep.

Redlord

A soldier serves out of duty and honor, loyalty to his kingdom – love of his lord. Love was what killed him, and the prayer that his prince might survive when he did not. Captured, condemned, and enslaved, Marius D’Corre died in his chains.

The man who survived… The pirate who emerged…left behind the name he once owned and boarded his ship to never look back.

Tolthe

Clerics are not meant to leave their Woods, living and loving within the trees they call home, one with the forest that claims all elves as kin. All except Tolthe, who stands in the shadows, never welcome amongst his brethren.

When the alfara is stolen, and Diety demanded one take up the hunt for the scythe, it felt only right that he leaves the Dienobo behind for whatever adventure waited across the world.

Lost Boys

There’s only so long you can run from the past before it catches up. And only so far you can travel before the home you’ve always longed for finds you.

When pirate meets priest, two worlds collide: the past Red can’t seem to leave behind, and the future Toma doesn’t know how to spare the thief from. For the first in a long time, neither soldier nor elf is alone, but being found only means there is more at stake to lose…

This book is a dark fantasy reimagining of the origins of Captain Hook and is intended for mature readers. There is triggering content that some readers may find distressing and language that might shock a sailor. For content warnings please click on the book cover and scroll to the copyright page.

Not what I expected but WOW!

I have always loved Lawrencovna’s writing, and this one is the best so far!
She adds a new twist to the whole nursery rhyme rewrite. I don’t want to say too much because it’ll spoil it for you.
I would give this book 100 stars!

“Ms. Lawrencovna spins a tale that takes you to places you have only ever dreamed of! ” – The Dragon’s Sacrifice: A Breath of Fyre Novel (The Never Lands Saga) by Andi Lawrencovna

 

No one knows what came first, man or dragon, but throughout history, man feared the great fire-breathing beast, terrified of its breath and its claws. Man ran long and far from the winged serpent until he came to a land rich and fertile, green where the dragon’s lands were blackened with the ash of its fire.

The dragon didn’t follow.

Until now.

She was out picking fruits to see her people through the winter months, innocent in her adventuring, never expecting to come upon a beast in the woods, one so great and mighty he was more myth than reality.

He frightened her, and in her fall, he saved her life.

Why would a creature, reported to be the very basest of evils in the world, stop to save the life of a girl he didn’t know? Couldn’t care about?

How could she not return the favor when his life came into question by her people?

Ciandra, Daughter of the Darkness, Elf of the Forest.

Trinigon FyreBreath, the Great Red Dragon.

A forbidden affair that could cost them their lives, but how can they say no when the Dragon’s Sacrifice has no fear of the flames?

Darlene Kuncytes

Wow! This lady can write! Ms. Lawrencovna spins a tale that takes you to places you have only ever dreamed of! Her writing style is poetic and beautiful! I was hooked from the start and could not put it down. I can’t wait to travel through the Neverlands again and again! Great read!
