My Review
The Page Turners: Blood is a riveting fantasy brimming with intense scenes, imminent doom, and surprising twists. The story grabs hold of it's readers and doesn't let go...it's a real "page turner."
Nate and his best friends Danny and Spenser are high school freshman and the only popularity they seem to achieve is that with the school bully. They choose to escape the horrors of high school by diving into the pages of the books they read. The three form a club called "The Page Turners" where they can discuss their favorite tales. However, Nate's discovery of an ancient book during one of their meetings changes their lives forever.
The Page Turners gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "the characters jumped right off the page." With Nate's discovery of the magic book and the reading of the spell the author craftily brings the fictional characters into the "real world" of his book. Although The Page Turners is a fantasy, the characters are believable and their everyday lives mirror those of many high school students making what they experience all that more conceivable.
I really enjoyed the concept of this story. I often become lost in the stories I read and feel a connection with the characters which brings them to life in my minds eye. The author capitalizes on this feeling and creates an all around great read.
The story is creative, imaginative, and gripping. I highly recommend picking up a copy. Available on Amazon.
