Now, for my Review and Giveaway of
Vampire Blood by Kathryn Meyer Griffith
First off, let me tell you. Don’t ask questions, JUST DO WHAT I TELL YOU!
Go HERE and find the awesomesauce story of how Kathryn Meyer Griffith’s new author revised edition of Vampire Blood came to be in your hands.
Could there be a Dean Koontz sighting?
Michelson thought he had found a home.
But Irene had been a bad vampire, leaving six mutilated victims to be found.
Now they were running again.
They were going back to Summer Haven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vampire Blood starts with mutilated bodies and ends with a………..Bite.
I had read Human No Longer and loved the book and Jenny. Kathryn Meyer Griffith told me she had written a prequel to Human No Longer and I was curious to see how and why Jenny came to be Jenny.
Vampire Blood tells the story of the theater and how it changed Jenny and Joey’s lives forever.
Rumors and mystery had surrounded the theater. The townspeople always thought it was haunted. Oh no, it was much worse than that.
Jenny is the main character and I loved her. She had courage, with a capital C. Courage means that you face your fears, you do what must be done no matter how terrified you are.
This was the first time Jenny had ever lived alone. She felt it was time to find herself. She was afraid of the dark. Sounds funny, because she wrote horror novels, Vampire novels to be specific. Just because she wrote about Vampires, didn’t mean she believed they were real. It was fiction.

Until the mutilated bodies were found.
Who would have thought it was all true?
I felt so sad for Joey and that surprised me. I did not feel that way when I read Human No Longer, but when I found out about his story, it may me want to wrap my arms around him and tell him it will be okay.
Vampires and shapeshifters. Some are so cruel and blood thirsty. They like playing with their food. Made me think of Orcas playing with seals. How terrifying can that be?
Others, like Michelson, just wanted to live and let live. Can a vampire have a heart?
A small town with lots of dead and mutilated bodies? My thought was – why weren’t they doing something sooner? I would have called in “Criminal Minds”.
Kathryn Meyer Griffith’s character and world building are not to be topped. Her writing flows smoothly and draws you deep into her stories.
5 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others
I received this book from the author in return for an honest and unbiased review.

I’d love to win the prequel! Human No Longer was excellent. That’s funny that I called you last night to tell you about Scraps of Paper and here you are with a review and all this awesomeness. I’ll check out your review after I’ve read the story. Don’t want to be influenced but I’m very encouraged by your 5 STARS! I know you don’t give them out unless the book slays ya!!LOL
Loved Dinosaur Lake too. Lots of bloody action and suspense.
LOL. I love Jenny and Joey. I still have a weakness for monsters of the animal kind. ^_^ Good luck.
I can’t resist a good creature story or aliens either!
Me neither. lol
I may sound old school but I think my favorite monster is Godzilla. Why? He attacks a variety of strange things, he appeals to all ages and he’s indestructible for starters. I love sitting down watching these movies again and again, they never get old.
I don’t think you are old school at all. B movies are my favorites. Godzilla is at the top of my list too. The new one was good, but I love the old ones best. All the critters and odd things they add to the movie are priceless. I love that the voices don’t sync up. lol I too watch them over and over again.
My fav monster is vampire 🙂
My favorite things about vampires is that they are immortal. Imagine all that could be accomplished if you never died. lol
My favorite monster is the werewolf. It started with Lon Chaney Jr’s The Wolfman and has continued to this day. Why do I like them? That’s kind of a loaded question. I guess for the most part I like the raw power they possess. Whether their transformation is against their will or they embrace it and control it, I look at it as letting our demons out. Too many times we can’t tell who the bad people are until it’s too late, and sometimes they’re not really bad, just misunderstood.
Well said. And misunderstood? Hmmmm. Never thought about that. ^_^
I grew up watching Godzilla movies and the old cartoon. He’s definitely still a favorite of mine. In second place is Vermithrax the dragon from the old 80s movie Dragonslayer where a magician’s apprentice is charged with the task of killing a dragon. For the time the effects were awesome, the dragon is truly nasty, and the acting is half way decent with an interesting storyline.
I grew up watching Godzilla too. I love it and never tire of watching it over and over. Especially the older versions with all the weird critters he fought. lol Thanks for stopping in and good luck.
There are monsters and there are monsters. Firstly monsters that the imagination can conjure up perhaps with the help of folk law and legend. Then there are monsters that are human who have done terrible things during war, as psychopaths, or just because of social position . Bearing all this in mind the greatest amalgamation of both, and my favourite monster, has to be Count Dracula. Stoker’s famous lord of the undead clearly fits both types of monster as Vlad Tepes whilst alive and then Dracula as a vampire. I think he is the epitome of cruelty and pain mixed with cunning and darkness. The fact that he can look like a normal person (should he choose) is chilling. It’s what he is that’s monstrous!
That’s funny that you cover a lot of the monsters I thought of, from human to critter? LOL Thanks for the great comment.
I’d have to pick Frankenstein’s monster. You just have to feel sorry for him. He’s only looking for acceptance and gets branded a monster.
I think he is one of those that are innocent, but condemned by circumstances out of his control. Good luck. ^_^
