Working as a policeman, Carter didn't make a lit of money, but the two of them were able to at least care for their own, plus, the two boys basic needs.. Carter had never before been married, nor have children. He was learning how to be a parent, but it wasn't easy. The boys seemed to like him, yet resented him making any effort to set rules or enforce any type pf discipline. After the marriage, the boys biological father died in an accident. Although their biological dad never offered any type of attention to them, the boys still refused to acknowledge Carter as their Dad, While the boys were out with peers, a once in a lifetime opportunity was offered to them. Now all they had to do ws convince their mom and Carter to let them embrace it. To everyone's shock, Carter agreed to let them go, since he would be there because of his work. Little did anyone know how life-changing this would be to everyone involved. The author had a vivid, gruesome imagination. The story "flowed" steadily and smoothly, captivating the readers interest. Some of the events were surprising, others predictable. However, the story was an interesting tale, weaving in paranormal societies. Within the book content, it addressed several social issues. including bullying. It emphasized the fact that bullies aren't respected, nor liked. Whereas the issues were addressed the plot took them to the extreme. This YA Novel is very graphically, morbidly, violent and is not recommended to those under the age of seventeen. The character were realistic, the events depicted well and the overall literary accomplishments were impressively disturbing.. There were brief gaps in going from one scene to another. I offer a Four and a half Stars rating. *This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.

Buy the Book: Amazon.com ~ Barnes & Noble ~ Apple iBooks ~ Smashwords ~ Kobo ~ | Add to Goodreads Monster Hunting I wrote a book called Monsterland. It’s about a teen that must save his date in a theme park, whose main attractions – real werewolves, vampires, and zombies – descend the place into chaos. The opening of the book is seen through the eyes by Billy, a human, well sort of human. Billy is a werewolf living in the Everglades with seven others like him. They hunt for food during the day and relax at night. The werewolves have a pretty decent life. They live away from society and don’t bother anyone. The Everglades are so remote; no person knows they actually live there. Until one day, Dr. Vincent Konrad and his cohorts invade Billy’s territory and hunt them down. You would think a werewolf would rip them to shreds. Not my werewolves. They hunters pursue them in a chase through the Everglades, picking off one werewolf after the next. The final werewolf to succumb to the humans is Billy, who will be put on lavish display at Vincent’s theme park Monsterland. Vampires have lived among us for eons, but it wasn’t until their numbers dwindled that Congress passed a law to ensure they cannot recruit new members. In order to become a vampire, you have intercourse with one. A bite doesn’t do it, a bite simply keeps them satiated and you sedated while you follow them. Should vampires be allowed to live among humans? Again, Congress has to decided what is best for the safety of everyone. Finally, we have the vitality-challenged, er, zombies. Poor zombies. The disease ravaged their brain so badly that all they want to do is eat meat. Doesn’t matter what type of meat, they just have to eat, eat, eat. What would you do with these poor creatures? Hunt them? Kill them? They should have rights too, don’t you think? Should monsters have the same rights as humans? If we hunt monsters, should we be allowed to carry a permit? Should there be designated areas of monster hunting allowed in the States? These questions should be answered before we actually talk about capturing a monster. The law is, there is no law to hunt a monster – and there should be. Monsters have rights. They’re human just like us, with a bit of a disadvantage. ![]() Meet the Author: Michael Okon is an award-winning and best-selling author of multiple genres including paranormal, thriller, horror, action/adventure and self-help.
