Nocturnal Book Reviews

This was one of those rare free reads that for me hit the jackpot. Fantastic, gritty, overblown story that goes down and dirty all the way.

The concept is pretty simple: a poor social outcast Jenny falls in love with a popular jock Seth who's got an evil cheerleader Ashleigh for a girlfriend.

Not so simple if you think that these three individuals possess ancient powers, - one of them can kill by mere touch, one can raise you from the dead and one can make you worship them and plans world domination...

The dramatic events unravel in a small American town, where Jenny lives with her alcoholic dad, Seth is a son of a rich banker and Ashleigh is as hypocritical and dangerous as you can expect from a daughter of a preacher.

Of course the plot is full of cliche, however the writing is very engaging and half way through gets more and more gruesome and shocking. Sorry, I like gruesome *grinning*. It's like a big train wreck/B-movie - horrible to the point of being absurd but hugely entertaining.

So, I very much recommend J.L. Bryan, and I'm definitely planning to read the rest of the books in series.
