The Wolf's Moon, by Patrick Jones. (Still free?)Let's start with a solid thriller, full of suspense and with over 20 five-star reviews! Free today.
"The writing was excellent and the characters were well developed. I fell in love with Lansdowne and his "puppies". He has an awesome best friend in Skruggs, now all he needs is a love interest, or does he already have one and not realize it? He thinks he hasn't moved on from his wife's death, but has this experience made him realize life is too short, you must live it, not just exist. There is more than one mystery, and it seems Mark Lansdowne is not what he appears to be." -- Sherry Fundin, Amazon reviewer
In “The Wolf’s Moon,” author Patrick Jones creates a spellbinding tale of an ancient animal that haunts the foothill towns of Missouri’s Ozark Mountains. An unknown group of scientists has genetically engineered a Dire Wolf into the present day. Allegedly extinct, the ferocious beast preys upon the innocent people of Maple Hills.
To hunt and kill the beast, the town folk will have to rely on the tracking feats of Mark Lansdowne. He is a reluctant hero, still mourning the loss of his wife to illness. Relying on his rescue dogs and indefatigable hunting skills, Mark will set out on foot in search of the mysterious beast. Yet the hunter’s personal history and romantic entanglements will come back to haunt him during his search for the vicious animal.
Accompanying him on the hunt is his pal Warren Skruggs, who knew Mark when he was known as Michael Linden, a chapter of his history that he prefer be kept to the past. Adding to the intrigue are two beautiful, intelligent women who aid the hunter in his quest. Their looks and smarts would make the Bond Girls envious but Mark is still a grieving widower, unsure of how to move forward.
With its mixture of high-stakes hunting and personal and romantic intrigue, “The Wolf’s Moon” is a page-turner that will keep the reader captivated with its unexpected story twists. The thriller suspense novel is a real story grounded in the life and folkways of the Ozark Mountains not just another unbelievable werewolf story grafted onto the romance of the South.

Cries in the Dark, by P. A. Woodburn. (Still free?)This mystery / thriller involves an engaging woman sleuth. 21-year-old Alex awakens from a cycling accident to discover she can communicate telepathically with the chimpanzees and other caged animals subjected to scientific experiment. Free today!
"Cries in the Dark has elements of drama, suspense, fantasy, and romance, but underpinning it all is a strong social message. The message, though, is not delivered in any way that is preachy but through the telling of the story from all sides, including that of the animals. Although confronting at times, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It's one of those rare books that affects you long after you read the last page, but probably more so if you have any sort of affinity for animals." -- Amazon reviewer
A serious head injury induces premed student Alex Buchanan to telepathically communicate with animals. She is stunned to actually experience the enraged emotions of a chimpanzee when he attacks her friend--all this on her first day as a lab technician in an American Sign Language primate research center.
Alex is highly secretive about her unwelcome gift, because she is sure that revealing it will squash her plans for achieving her dream: medical school. Taught by her parents to support scientific/medical research, she feels that her opinions about vivisection (cutting on live animals) may be challenged.
Sean Murphy, her lawyer boyfriend is snatched away. Could the FBI have realized he was on their most wanted list? Now alone, Alex is certain that she is being stalked by a serial killer. She maintains constant vigilance. The mounting body toll puts her in a panic. Do all of the dead have something in common? What could it be?
Terrified, Alex abandons her support for scientific/medical research, instead using her newfound paranormal ability. She works ferociously to uncover the killer before he destroys her human and animal friends. Will she have the strength and courage to defeat the killer? Failure will lead to certain death?

The Guardian of Threshold - A Young Adult Paranormal Fantasy (Urban Fantasy, Contemporary Fantasy) (Threshold Series), by A.A. Volts. (Still free?)This highly-rated paranormal fantasy is free today!
"First off, this is a real book, not some one chapter novella. Second, this is one well written book that grabbed me from the start. I am a sucker for a good plane crash and this one doesn't disappoint. Yes, I was concerned how the author was going to make the lead character, Mark, a 16 year old kid believable in this story, but he pulls it off. Even with the suspension of belief, we still want the storyline to be plausible and A.A. Volts does a great job at it." -- Amazon reviewer

Dracula Rekindled, by Xander Buchan. (Still free?)"This was a pleasant surprise. The book is still done in the journal style that Stoker used with a modern twist using social media. It has a few funny little "jabs" at modern ideals of vampires yet keeps Dracula as evil (if not more so) as he ever was. Some people might find some of the parts a bit long but I found they were also necessary to keep the story flowing. The path this author has taken the story has left anticipation for the next novel. Be warned, this is a "to be continued" story!" -- M. Spivey, Amazon reviewer
The Original Vampire is rekindled for the 21st Century...
With Dracula Rekindled, Xander Buchan takes the reigns from Bram Stoker with a fresh sequel that remains faithful to the Gothic horror classic, Dracula. Crafted in an epistolary style, and sharing the same DNA as Dracula, Xander also succeeds in making the read distinctly contemporary. This clever, suspenseful story builds steadily to draw the reader into a place of much mystery, intrigue, and horror. The ORIGINAL VAMPIRE has been rekindled and Buchan has created a believable Dracula for the 21st century.
SYNOPSIS:
'Not until he cannot lose will he make his move! His preparation will be slow and thorough. Never again will he meet defeat by the same ends...'
A young couple find their plans delayed by unforeseen events. A student's PhD research digs up more than she bargained for, and a renowned Haematologist discovers his ancestor, Van Helsing, was master of more than just medicine.
Amidst a series of strange events and horrific discoveries, lands are being bought up in Scotland; renovation work begins in a quaint coastal village to restore a medieval castle ruin. Does the prestigious restoration, and its new owner, hold any connection to the dark events unfolding?
As a dark force rises, a secret history is uncovered - but could it even be believed? A desperate hunt for answers leads to the farthest reaches of darkest Europe; has an ancient foe returned to threaten mankind once more?

PROGENETER I Immortality: the Quest, by Steve Bareham. (Still free?)"We faced a population explosion BEFORE someone discovered the key to 250-year lifespans...now what? Who would profit--and who might suffer--if such lifespans were available through a commercial product? This great fictional romp through the implications of that discovery is based on population facts and projections that humanity must face even with current lifespans, much less such a dramatic and feasible extension. 'Entertaining AND informative." -- Gerald Rotering, Amazon reviewer
"Hard-hitting, well-crafted action and an ingenious plot; fiction that makes you think...a 5-star read."

The Merchant and the Menace (The Seraphinium), by Daniel McHugh. (Still free?)"If you like David Eddings and Terry Brooks, then this is the book for you. Like Eddings, McHugh loves to play around with old philosophical and religious ideas, dressing them up in new clothes for a night on the town in the 21st century. Like Brooks, McHugh is enchanted by the same tropes all fantasy lovers are enchanted by: elves, a young hero shepherded by a mysterious but wizard-like guide, and big battles with swords and magic. But McHugh is no Tolkien-lite. He has provided his readers with some fresh creations that fill the imagination with vivid pictures and scenes, reminding the reader why fantasy is such a beloved genre. Well worth the $3." -- John M. Pryor, Amazon reviewer
The Seraphim. Beings of power, created to guide the world in times of trouble. They live their lives of near immortality in servitude to a lesser creature, man.
One rebelled. Amird, the Hand of the Creator, bridled at the sovereignty of his lord. In defiance he murdered a brother and was cast into the Mists of Chaos.
Millennia passed as the Deceiver plotted his return. Backed by the might of a seemingly unstoppable army of Ulrog Stone Men and their fire-eyed Malveel Lords, Amird plans to wrest control of the world from the Creator and rain violence on the humans he once served.
All that stands between Amird and his triumphant return are the remnants of battered human armies and the hope that Seraphim, loyal to the Creator, still roam this world.
Kael knows little of this struggle. His quiet village lies deep in the Southlands, unchanged and unchallenged by the wars raging in the frozen North. In fact, the boy longs for a bit of adventure and freedom from the boring routine at his father’s inn.
Freedom comes at a cost. Kael’s first journey outside his secluded village results in a tragedy so deep it destroys the boy’s sheltered world and immerses him in the struggle.
Revelations surface. Kael uncovers a past linking him to legends, grapples with a present that resembles nothing he knows, and confronts a future that demands he tap long dormant power and stake a claim in the defense of the human races.
Kael’s first step toward that future lies through the darkness of the Nagur Wood, and rumor has it something prowls the Nagur!
