  • Risah Salazar for Readers' Favorite

    A vampire is hiding from the Order of the Sons of Light. Her name is Andreea, but in the present time, her undercover name is Melissa Gray. Working for the Elite Missions Operations (EMO) as an assassin, she vowed not to kill the innocent. That is why she saved Dr. Kevin Alinsky and Ashely when she felt that there was something off in the mission. Clearly, the EMO had been lying to her. With a feline alien on the loose and several ripped bodies of humans and animals alike, Andreea teams up with the town's sheriff to prevent more gruesome killings and finally catch the culprit.

    WJR Parks' novella, The Undying, is the first installment in the Hidden World Series. The book welcomes readers with fascinating but sometimes graphic imagery. It is nicely done though, without being overpowering, and therefore will not be too much for readers' tastes. This thrilling and action-packed tale is fast-paced and does not waste time. Parks writes in a certain style where the chapters are divided into multiple scenes, each introducing a different character and his or her own thread in the story's web. At first, the connection is not that clear, but they all come together and contribute to the big picture. This is a complex story with so many layers, so kudos to Parks for wonderful narration and delivery. The Undying is not your typical vampire story, which is usually superficial -- this one has more intellect and is highly recommended to those who love heart-racing urban sci-fi fantasies.

Elspet has survived thousands of years on the blood of humans. She protects her daughter Hannah until the day both are free of the undead curse. A pact with a fallen Seraph bestowed Elspet with the power to ensure she could stop any threat. In return, she was bound to destroy demons on earth and had hunted them without notice, until now.

The demon prince, Verriel, learns of Elspet and her mission. He will stop at nothing to kill her or make her suffer for destroying his minions in Los Angeles.

Vampires and lilins pose no threat, but when demons rise against her, Elspet must prepare for a new danger, a real threat.

  • Great book, great deal!!!

    First let me preface this by saying that this is a complicated tale with lots of obscure references. I suggest having a good sense of vampire lore before diving in to this tome.

    Okay, now that we have that out of the way:

    ********SPOILERS AHEAD********

    Elspet is one badass lilin (hostile night spirit) babe on a mission to eat people and protect her daughter from the ape demons from hell.

    I tandem read this with a friend, so this is what *we* thought:

    All the sexy strip club stuff was great and we wish more of the story took place in the "Naked Sins" club. We think the parts of the book set in the club really humanize Elspet and brings another layer to the story. To that point, we wanted way more PUA stuff! We were so excited to read that Arthur was a PUA working the Sunset Strip and were excited to read about his exploits 😉

    All the demon fights were great, perfect amount of demon battles. We didn't need more or less, really perfect.

    We liked the space travel, it was really unexpected and a fun twist. It helped us understand Elspet's powers better.

    Loved the old-timey language. It sells the fact that Elspet is really from another time.

    Appreciated that Hannah was a gamer, nice touch, reminded us of our own PVP days.

    We also loved the book cover as it looks exactly like how we pictured Elspet.

    We want a sequel, more of Elspet the Lilin!!

    Anyway for $0.99 you can't afford to NOT get this e-book.

Amazon ]]> The Corrupted https://www.wjrparksauthor.com/product/thecorrupted?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=thecorrupted Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:49:25 +0000 https://wjrparksauthor.com/?post_type=product&p=145 Demons are building an army with humans they have possessed.

Elspet and her friends must discover why. Even when Michael the Commander of the Angels doesn’t know the answers, the task becomes increasingly problematic.

Elspet must rely on her own magical spells to defeat the demons, and fears she will need to use powers granted to her by the seraph, Ramiel; powers that could tear Elspet from her daughter. Her only hope is to seek the help of the witch Raine and the angel Samael, who is possibly more malevolent than Lucifer.
