I've always liked action/adventure novels. This is a little different but still read very well. The author keeps you almost on edge but sucked into the world he has created. I was so far involved, I thought I was reading true history, not fiction. Yes, there are some random, off the wall, goofy expressions and scenes, but the story is so well written it kept me drawn in and wanting more. The history he has created can definitely be credited to lots of research for a very long time. I still want to punch the author for the ending, because the next book is almost ready-but not! All hopes he can keep up the good work and press on. I want more of this series!!!

I loved this narrative and enjoyed learning so much more about vampires than modern media decided to adopt. For instance, Dracula's majestic mustache! I highly recommend!

I absolutely loved this book! Regina Morris has become one of my favorite authors now, and I can't wait to get Eternal Service. Sterling and Kate both have so much to overcome, and I like how well it's all integrated with the kidnappings. I also hope to see more of Kekoa. If you love vampire stories with some twists, this book is for you!

Wow, this book had me hooked from the get go. What a great read. What a book. I really enjoyed this narrative. It had vivid well developed characters and a well thought out story plot with plenty of action, intrigue, mayhem and unimaginable terror. I can really see this as a movie. Congratulations to the author. This book added a unique spin to the vampire genre. I wouldn't really call the vampires your typical traditional vampires though, which was refreshing, they were demonic and horrifying evil monsters in every sense of the word, I can't wait to read the next instalment.

The author breathed new life into the vampire genre. Her series puts a new spin on the paranormal. I love her intricate supernatural world and characters with very human flaws. Nice to see a strong female lead. Ill be picking up the next in the series.

This one's a winner! Loved the story, it had a well-written tight plot, and I enjoyed the pace...in fact, I couldn't put it down. Treat yourself to a change from all the vampires to a story with good insight into human nature. Looking forward to the author's next book.

This fantastic sequel written by Author Kelley Grealis grabs your attention right at page one and doesn't let go until the very end, and even then it leaves you wanting the story to continue. Her ability to weave historical facts, people, and locations with vampires in such a great way is a true talent. I found the story line to be original, her plot brilliant, and her descriptive writing style breath taking. I highly recommend this book :) I look forward to reading more of your works, Keep up the great work.

Really enjoyed the twist on the vampire story. Reminds me somewhat of S.M. Stirling's Shadowspawn series, but much much better and done quite earlier. Abner has much in common with another famous captain, Ahab, only barely overcoming his obsession before complete ruination. I enjoyed this story greatly.

This is a great series. I read all three books back to back because I just couldn't stop. I needed to know what happened next. This book is really cool in the sense that the vampire is more than just a mopey, sparkly, or misunderstood man that needs the love of a good woman to regain his humanity. We are given historical references where the main character actually participates in them and shows what kind of character he truly has. As a reader, I was able to really see these things occurring and my heart broke for him in places, but  it was all part of his journey.

I highly recommend this book (and series) to anyone looking for a well written, thoughtful, romantic vampire story that can really take you back in time to witness amazing historical events in a new perspective.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gives a twist to the regular vampire story. I couldn't wait to finish it, to see what would happen, and am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This book is a great read for those of you who enjoy vampires!  The story begins with an extremely descriptive sense of everything about Orin Cottage.  It really makes you feel like you are connected to him in many ways.  You feel his struggles and his discontent with the ways of the human race.  The story then begins to get so exciting through the middle that its hard to put down!  Orin has so many different facets of his life and his friendships that it keeps you guessing what will happen next.  He battles good and evil and tries to figure out what his future holds and why his life was chosen to be so drastically changed.  The ending was not at all what I expected and I was kind of sad, in that it happened so fast.  I wanted to see more of what Orin had to offer in changing the world and in uncovering the honesty and trust of those around him.  This book really makes you think hard about the world we live in.  It also gives a new twist to the old beliefs of how vampires are portrayed.

This novella gives a tantalizing peek into a new take on what happens when the world becomes aware of vampires. I'm looking forward to reading more!

Available Darkness Season One is a whole new take on the classic vampire stories.  No, these vampires don't sparkle in the sunlight a la twilight, nor do they sink their extended canines into your neck to draw out your blood like most other vampire stories were told.  This is a whole different take on the myth, not just in how the vampires function, but where they come from.

These authors have never let me down.  Sometimes I will start reading a book and think Oh this is.. re-written, it seems like their ideas are not original.  But then, they throw in twists and turns that make the stories original, and nothing that youve ever read before.  Often, when you read the Authors Notes, as I always do, they explain that they actually came up with the idea for these stories first, and then put the book idea away when such and such a movie was made that basically told the story they were telling, and they felt like they could not keep writing based on that.  But Im so glad that they picked up their pens and put them to paper again, because they come up with amazing stuff.

Available Darkness Season one is a story of betrayal, love, magic and mayhem.  Its about families, both dysfunctional blood families, and solid as stone chosen families.  Its about hard choices, and having the guts to make them.  Its about regret, and pain and sorrow.  It makes you think, and wonder what you would do in similar circumstances.  Sometimes, the answer will surprise you.

I personally could not put the book down.  I believe I read it over 3 days.  It was intense, fast paced, and I just wanted, no, needed, to know what came next.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

When I came across this book I knew it would be a hit just by the title.  What a great idea.  Totally thinking outside of the box.  I loved the way he takes it back to the beginning of America starting with the very first settlements, and ties that into vampires to explain certain historical mysteries.  The author skillfully weaves the fabric of both slaverly and Lincoln's passion and melancholy from the fertile raw materials of vampires.  He cleverly explains much of the history and dynamics of the 1800's through the presence and influence of vampires, right up to and through his assassination.

Also, the format of how this book is written, through the referrals to Lincoln's journal, actually makes this book seem almost factual.  A remarkable feat indeed considering the subject matter.  I can't wait for the movie to come out!

One of the best books I have ever read.  Get this book.  You will be glad you did!

Take a castle full of vampires and their shapeshifting servants and throw in a family of humans. This was an excellent story. With real characters from history, you learn what really happened to the  Romanov children in Russia, I'll give you a hint, Vlad Tepes. With a cliffhanger ending, I will absolutely be picking up book 2 the day it comes out!
