Featured Book: Feast of Fates

Feast of FatesFeast of Fates
by Christian A. Brown
Genres: fantasy, fiction, romance
Available at Amazon

Morigan, handmaiden to a kindly sorcerer, discovers long-buried powers she never knew herself to possess. Visions plague her, of a devastating madness descending on one of the Immortal rulers of the realm. Morigan’s powers hold the key to stopping a war if she can survive the plots against her.

Excerpt:

Throughout the day, in fleeting moments, she saw the king around; removed from his armor and dirty as a common man in wear and work. He was always fixing something: a person, a cart to be readied for the mortal migration, even the shoe on a child’s foot. No task was too small or too far beneath him, and while she respected this, she felt that much of it was penance. Whatever he spoke of back on the shore of Lake Tesh, these seasons and promises, the reason for his army marching south, it would end in tragedy. And she pitied him for it. She didn’t know why, and more than once she stopped to hold her tears as she thought of his sad, stormy beauty.

The online world can be a dangerous place for kids whose parents are unaware of their activities, especially when a vicious serial killer is on the rampage. As the body count escalates, the pressure is on for Sheriff Brody Chase and former FBI profiler Carly Smith to stop the terror.

Excerpt

“You need to get here fast, Brody. There are two bodies inside the car.”

Brody slammed the cell phone back in his pocket and raced to the front door. Nausea and fear filled him as he prayed the two bodies were not preadolescent females, like the two unsolved murder files on his desk. The last two years like clockwork, the body of a young girl had been found in his county. Both murders remained unsolved because of a lack of identification, but Brody knew that each girl had family members somewhere. Why in the hell hadn’t anyone reported them missing?

There was either a monster living in his county, or using it as a body dump site. Both options were unsettling, and people were getting nervous. He was sick of being asked why the murders hadn’t been solved, and how close he was to finding the killer. The avid crime television viewers watched every week as crimes were solved and tied up with a ribbon at the end of the hour. That it was taking two years to solve the girls’ murders was unacceptable to them, and they weren’t afraid to voice their opinions — to him, and to the County Commission President, Bradley Lucas, to whom Brody reported.

Featured Book: 809 Jacob Street

by Marty Young
4.4 average rating
Available on Amazon.

Old homeless Joey Blue must confront a town’s corrupted soul after a terrible warning comes from a dead friend, while newcomer Byron James finds himself involved in the dangerous games of two outcasts. And out on Jacob Street lurks the monster house, the house that calls to them all…

Excerpt:

“Dad reckons the place is haunted because of the murders that happened there,” Hamish added.

Byron didn’t believe in ghosts or anything supernatural, but murderers were a whole different ballgame. That was real – and dangerous.

“The family who lived there was killed, and when they were found, their faces were all black and distorted, their necks swollen and purple with finger marks around their throats.”

“Imagine what it would take to kill someone like that,” said Hamish.

“You’d be looking into their eyes as you slowly murdered them,” said Iain, looking into Byron’s. “Watching their horror grow as they realized this was it.”

“Watching their life drain away,” said Hamish.

“Their eyes growing dull.”

Byron stared at them, dumbfounded. Who were these freaks?

Then Iain laughed again and Hamish joined in.

“It’s okay, B. We’re not going to kill you. It’s just hard to imagine how anyone could do such a thing.”

What others are saying:

“Although this is Marty Young’s first novel, believe me it’s anything but amateur. 809 Jacob Street is as well written and well crafted as anything the master, Stephen King, ever penned. I can say with confidence, if you enjoy the kind of stories woven by King, you will definitely enjoy 809 Jacob Street. You’re in for a wild ride.” by Gary Val Tenuta
