"Liked it a lot, loved the end. Twists and turns then jumps out at you.""One of the creepiest little books (YA) I have read in a long time."" If you love horror you will love this.""It was my first Vampire book I've read since Dracula. You never stop to consider if vampires can be real, it is a given after a couple of pages. Great read.""Two hours of darkly humorous pure entertainment."" I love a good vampire suspense story, and I want to know more about these little devils. For vampire lovers, Murderous Little Darlings will be a treat.""I love the author’s writing style. It’s neat and superb and it’s everything I was looking in a genre like this.""This is an unusual and very entertaining Vampire story..""I always look for originality, pace, and great characterisation in a book. Murderous Little Darlings scored on all counts.""I am now almost sold on the whole idea of vampires, if the stories could all be this slick and funny.

  • Remnants

    John Hennessy

    language (Innovation Today, April 18, 2016)
    Everyone’s gone.All the animals, all the people. Gone in a microsecond.Except for a few unlucky remnants. Those left behind for the greatest hunt of all time.When high school senior Darrel Reid wakes up to find his home empty and the neighborhood eerily silent, with the same strange mark on every door, he’s more than a little shaken. Then an alien shows up in his backyard and his life spirals into a living nightmare. Reunited with his two best friends, Maggy and Félix, who evaded abduction thanks to a device Maggy made to block out unwanted eavesdroppers—the government, their parents—the trio makes for a natural disaster bunker on the outskirts of town, but a new mark draws them into a house, where they find an unconscious schoolmate—and a trap.Barely surviving the night, they set out in search of safety, only to discover a landscape that promises a gruesome death, as each passing day becomes more treacherous than the one before. But when Darrel is abducted, a much more sinister plot unfolds, one that leads to a single choice: Fight or go extinct.About Remnants:Set in a critically overpopulated near future, Remnants is told through two shifting points of view: Darrel, a 17-year-old gamer geek unprepared for the end of the world; and Maggy, a 16-year-old tech genius who wields a replica axe from Lord of the Rings. The pulse-pounding action of this apocalyptic YA thriller will appeal to fans of alien invasions, survival stories, and pure sci-fi adventure.

Aditi Saha - http://bookstopcorner.blogspot.co.uk/"There is not enough power in the word Thank you to actually express my gratitude towards the author for introducing me to such a wonderful series.While today when our vampires are busy playing with their hair and sharpening their fangs, making it extra crispy and white, somewhere in the grave Bram stoker is wishing that he could return as a vampire so that people can understand what an actual vampire stands for. Don't worry Mr. Stoker we have taken care of things for you.Three tales of Vampires is the collection of the original novella that brings you these set of vampires that will make you fear the very word vampire rather than see diamonds and bushes and red contact lenses. These novella are so intricately weaved and connected to each other that you cannot afford to lose the track. What starts with the first returns back in the third book in a complete firework. Each characters in these short stories are much stronger and impressive than many voluminous books out there. Each story ends with shocking revelations that you cant stop from jumping into the next book.The language and the narration is simply gripping and for me its the plot and the characters that add color to this whole series. This is one series that you have to follow if you are a huge vampire fan. i would like to say it is the revival of the classic vampires. As gory and vicious and hungry as they were created yet every bit emotionally attachable."Merril Anil - https://merrilanil.wordpress.com/
