Great read Fast paced and an excellent mystery A new twist on classic genre Highly recommend.

This is a brilliant take on a Dracula novel, I have read so many Dracula and vampire books especially recently which I love but they have become a bit samely NOT WITH this one it has a completely unique edge to it.Its fast paced and well written and I devoured this book in one complete sitting as I couldn t put it down If you loved and read Agatha Christie s And then there were none Ten little Indians then you will love this novel but add the vampires its just genius.William Massa s experience a [...]

Proteges of Dracula descend to his chateau in France to try to solve the mystery of who killed their master Also, in play is who will be the next leader The various players who were turned vampire through the centuries look for revenge only to find that they are also on the list of the killer The pacing is brisk as the story takes place over a 24 hour period hence, the title Fear the Light They need to find the murderer before the next sunrise.It is hard to find a vampire tale that doesn t focus [...]

A thrilling story about a group of vampires who go from being apex predators to hapless prey overnight or is it overday The fast paced tone of the book makes for an engrossing read The book does have some loose ends though 1 We are never really told how Dracula was taken down There are vague references to tainted blood but the exact sequence of events leading to his destruction are never described.2 There were four mercenaries who arrived in the Humvee to destroy the vampires We are witness to t [...]

A fun twist on a classic trope Fans of people trapped together in a scary place and they start dropping like flies genre be satisfied by a good mystery, and fun characters That said Is some of the writing hammy Yes My dear beloved Vincent, love of my life.Are omniscient POV ominous statements over used Yes It would be a long day, Vincent thought He had no idea how prophetic those words would turn out to be.Do ellipses always spoil what should be a surprising moment Yes His mind drifted into a pe [...]

I wish GoodReads gave half stars, because this book deserves a 3.5 It was a fun, albeit quite predictable read that kept me entertained for a few evenings Part of the problem with constructing a great whodunnit is that we ve all seen so many movies and read so many stories, that usually it s quite obvious from very early on who is responsible for the heinous crime this book was unfortunately no different However, it did have one really awesome twist, which I didn t see coming, and thoroughly enj [...]

Okay so this is the second Massa book I ve read so far and so far he is two for two I really enjoyed this book I enjoyed it so much I read it in a day He has a nice cross section of society in the form of Dracula s vampire children The story is well thought out, fast paced, and action packed I feel like he did a better job in this novel helping us start to feel for the characters than in Gargoyle Knight My one complaint as with previous novels is that it is WAY TO SHORT I would have liked to see [...]

This is how you do a vampire thriller A great cast of characters, each with their own background characteristics to draw you in to each of their own stories, all drawn together by one common theme their maker Oh, by the way, their maker is murdered None of the maker s children seem to like each other, but united in his death, they congregate at the maker s castle to solve the murder Is the murderer one of their own Or is the murderer someone who has studied vampires for so long they know all of [...]

I want a print copy of this book for my shelves at home I really enjoyed the whole whodunnit complex mystery built on top of the thoroughly developed characters with such detailed back stories Fear the Light is a great story that really encompasses Massa s talent for writing really great stories full of excellent detail and depth I always love me some Dracula and this story puts a whole new spin that hasn t been explored before Fear the Light is an absolute winner.

I really did enjoy this book The plot was interesting I liked hearing the story from multiple points of view However, the punctuation was a little too much for me I found a few typos, which us fine What is not fine is the over use of exclamation points The novel was intriguing, but please rely on your words than your exclamation points.

Picked this up for a bit of light reading for a flight I loved the concept and the characters I wish we had seen of each of them before their deaths, to be honest But overall I thought the execution could have been better My biggest gripe was the constantly changing POV We were getting the POV of characters we d never even heard of before right until the end of the book It was a bit too disjointed for my liking The killer was unfortunately obvious from at least halfway through so it wasn t much [...]

Author is a romantic Who d a thunk Like the gargoyle books, this stand alone book reveals Mr Massa s romantic side Not nearly as mushy as those, thankfully I was hoping for something darker He does dark well I might be suffering from author overload I will read someone else then come back for the other stand alones X

Enjoyable ReadLoved the beginning and up to about 68%, then I had figured out who was doing the killing and why and so forth But like I said it was an interesting read, especially since I rarely read strictly Vampire book.

Fear the LightI would give this novel 8 stars if I could A true who done it book I was completely surprised at the end I had to make sure I didn t look further down the page when I was reading It really was a great read.

Yeah, kinda like CLUE with vampires A bit cliched It s a fun book Liked the characters, liked the twist, a short ish read listen A little over 5 hours on audiobook

Good StoryThis was a good vampire story but it was short Traditional vampires fighting among themselves I would read books by Mr Massa Happy Reading.

Fun readThe first book I ve read by William Massa but it won t be the last.The story moves at a good clip and felt like an Agatha Christie with the unread

3.5 stars a good, quick and entertaining read.

Excellent, excellent book I just finished Fear the Light, and it s not only the first book I ve written a review on in awhile, but it s the first book that kept me reading past the first 20 pages, which surprised me since I found it on one of Facebook s bargain e book pages I think I paid.99 for it I knew nothing about the author or the book, but the premise just kind of caught my interest.I m not a big fan of vampire books, especially since lately they ve all seemed to follow the Twilight formu [...]

Fear the Light, but don t fear buying this book.I came to this book knowing little about the author, but I thought the premise of vampires trying to solve the murder of Dracula interesting so I gave it a try.Before I read this novel, I had read a few traditionally published novels from big houses and was not thrilled with the quality of the writing or the formatting This book by a self publisher blows those books away.Not only is the premise great but the execution of the story is handled in a w [...]

After the brutal true death of their maker, eight vampires come together to try and figure out who killed him However, this little get together was than they bargained for, as violence and lies are uncovered and revenge and power surfaces.If Anne Rice s Interview with a Vampire and Agatha Christie s And Then There Was None were to have a literary baby Fear the Light Who Murdered Dracula would be it Fear the Light is a fast paced, wonderfully written thriller that just screams to be read in one [...]

So a few things about this story Three times, I was convinced that someone was the killer when it turned out they were only a hapless victim I say once the writer succeeds in psyching out the reader enough times, it can be counted as a success The pacing was smooth, the flow was great, and Will once again provided some great visuals with his words.I felt as if there was plenty of character development You really get to know Vincent and get a liking for the guy Every time a new character was intr [...]
