#102: Night Chill - Jeff Gunhus (With #Giveaway)

Tour schedule

In addition to writing supernatural thrillers for adults, Jeff Gunhus is also the author of the Middle Grade/YA series The Templar Chronicles. (www.jacktemplar.com) The first book, Jack Templar Monster Hunter, was written in an effort to get his reluctant reader eleven-year old son excited about reading. It worked and a new series was born and recognized as a 2012 Forward Reviews Book of the Year Finalist. Jeff has been a Stephen King and Dean Koontz fan since he was a kid reading their novels under the covers at night. Seeing Night Chill next to King and Koontz on the Amazon Bestseller lists has been a surreal experience. He leads an active lifestyle in Maryland with his wife Nicole and five incredible kids. In rare moments of quiet, he can be found in the back of the City Dock Cafe in Annapolis working on his next novel.

REVIEW:
Chilling!
This story was one that at times I couldn't read at night. My vivid imagination mixed with this dark, spine-tingling tale of sacrifice and murder was too much too handle. It definitely kept me awake at night.
I love that in a horror, thriller or scary novel though. If it doesn't scare the bejeezus out of me and keep my awake at night, or sleeping with one eye open, it's not scary enough. I find those reads are not that entertaining either. A little healthy scare never hurt anybody.
I loved Jeff's middle-grade series, Jack Templar, and am happy he wrote this book for adults. He has a way of capturing the reader.
All horror fans, check this one out. You will be glad you did!

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
