Blood Calling (The Blood Calling Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When Lucy Leary turned 18, her life fell apart. She crashed her car, her best friend abandoned her, her parents divorced, and her grandfather passed away, leaving her a single possession: A vampire slaying kit with a note that said, “THEY’RE REAL. FIGHT THEM.”Now Lucy must stop the oldest, most dangerous vampire in history, before it can kill her family.Praise for “Blood Calling”“Like with his debut novel, ‘Mercy,’ the vampires are the backdrop to the story, but not what it’s really about. Patterson is pitch-perfect emotionally, giving Lucy the voice of maturity and insecurity that anyone who's ever been a teenager can relate to. The fears about growing up and living and dying and finding one's place in the world cleans off the showiness and sparkles that have been the trademark of YA vampire fiction and gives it characters of grit and substance… I would gladly read more about Lucy and was bummed there wasn't any more.”-Word Nerd – (bkwriter.blogspot.com)“Lucy finding out about her grandfather's secret life as a vampire hunter is one thing. Being forced to take it over is quite another. But take it over she does... in style. With ‘Blood Calling’ author Joshua Grover-David Patterson has created a smart and believable heroine who would make Buffy proud. 5 stars, especially if he writes a sequel -- fast!” -Gabryyl Vaughan - (twitter.com/Gabryyl)“As the story unfolds and both Lucy and the reader learn more about the world of vampires, both good and bad, the characters begin to come alive right off the page, making this a must read novel. I highly recommend this novel, especially for any vampire lovers out there. Four Stars.”-A Book Vacation – (bookvacations.wordpress.com)Praise for “Mercy”“Joshua Grover-David Patterson writes in a style that will surely connect with many contemporary zombie fans. His use of tone and narrative structure are miles ahead of most who work in the genre.” -Scott Kenemore, author of “Zombie, Ohio” and “The Zen of Zombie.”“You expect a zombie novel to have brains, but you don't expect it to be this smart. You expect a number of internal organs to be on display, but you don't expect this much heart. MERCY is a kicka** zombie novel, but it's also a thoughtful, moving story about the joy and importance of being human and alive.” -Seamus Cooper/Brendan Halpin, author of “The Mall of Cthulhu” and “Donorboy”
