Book Title: "Darkened Hills" & “Darkened Hollows”
Author: Gary Lee Vincent
Published By: Burning Bulb Publishing
Age Recommended: 17+
Reviewed By: Kitty Bullard
Raven Rating: 3
Review: “Darkened Hills” and “Darkened Hollows” is a vampire series written by Gary Lee Vincent with scenes reminiscent of both “Dracula” and “Salem’s Lot.” While there was good action and a semi-interesting plot, I was not overly impressed as I felt the book was more the authors own rendition of two greater horror classics.
The books weren’t bad but still lacked the quality I expected from this writer. I would still recommend them if you are looking for a decent horror read related to vampires. I gave both books a 3 on the Raven Rating Scale, I have to say were these books a movie… they would be a B rated horror from the 80’s at best.
Synopsis: A tale of gripping psychological horror!
When evil descends on a small West Virginia town, who will survive?
Jonathan did not start out his life to become a rambler, it just worked out that way. William was a troubled youth with something to hide. Both were from Melas, a small town tucked away in the West Virginia hills... a town where disappearances are happening more and more frequently.
After the suicide of a wanted serial killer, the townsfolk thought the nightmare was over. But when a centuries-old vampire is discovered they find out the hard way it's just getting started. Dark secrets can only stay hidden for so long and when the devil comes to collect, there will be hell to pay. Can Jonathan and William find a way to stop the vampire before it's too late? Find out in Darkened Hills!
Darkened Hills is a gothic vampire novel written in the spirit of Dracula with much more sinister characters and eroticism then the old Victorian classic.… (más)

Book Title: "Passageway"
Author: Gary Lee Vincent

Raven Rating: 3.5
Review: I have to admit this story was much better than the author’s previous works. The addition of pictures was a plus and the story much more original. There are a host of characters in “Passageway” including some pretty interesting run-ins with zombies and werewolves.
This was a truly interesting expedition with some equally interesting backdrop.
Synopsis: When an archeological dig goes horribly wrong, the team is trapped in an alternate world where evil awaits them at every turn. Find out who will survive the Passageway! From the author of supernatural vampire thriller "Darkened Hills" comes, an unforgettable tale that spans four continents and takes the reader to the very realm of Hell itself. Skeleton warriors, zombies, other undead beings and werewolves are all very real inside the Passageway! Part H.P. Lovecraft and part Indiana Jones, this deadly tale will keep you guessing and wondering which path to take. Passageway will leave you breathless to the end!… (más)

I'm sorry that I just couldn't get into this book. I was very excited to have won it from LibraryThing and looked forward to the review. But I had several issues that kept me from enjoying the story.
First of all, the character names really threw me for a loop as they are the same from Bram Stoker's "Dracula": Jonathan Harker, Mina (Wilhelmina), Lucy and Raymond Renfield. It was distracting as I kept picturing the characters from the original vampire saga.
This is definitely NOT a book for young readers. It is very violent and gory and there are a lot of gratutious sex scenes. I'm not squeamish by any means, but there was a section regarding torturing cats that I found extremely offensive. That part pretty much overshadowed the rest of the book for me.
This is not one of the glittery, sparkly teen angst vampire novels. The storyline is a much darker, monster story that is what nightmares are made of. I think that if the author had used original character names and hadn't gone as much for the bloody shock value, his plot could have really made for a much better and longer story. The basic bones are there but I just couldn't get past the points I mentioned above.
I do want to note that I LOVE the cover and that several readers on Goodreads and LibraryThing had a completely different response to the book. This review is strictly MY personal reaction to it and I hope you'll check out what others thought of it. I appreciate the author and LibraryThing giving me a chance to read the book.… (más)
