SUMMARY: It was industry and innovation that finally defeated the orcs, not magic, as everyone had expected.

The BookViral Review: Genre – Magical Realism & Contemporary Fantasy
As a new Orc order rises uneasy alliances are formed that challenge human rule. But whilst the age-old conflict between Humans, Orcs and Elves might not be new there is nothing trite or clichéd about Emrey’s Inferno Dawn. Immediately enthralling, laden with superbly imagined characters and a multi-layered plot that’s dripping with intrigue Emrey has certainly set out to make his mark on what remains a highly competitive and ever-popular genre.
Quick to establish a realistic social system he does so without relying on traditional exposition and on this level we find ourselves taking a headlong leap into a bracingly different new world. Certain real-world social biases still apply in his human-dominated social order but through Dryden, Astanava and Fane he is careful to reveal how this hierarchy operates. With all three of them bringing the requisite degree of emotive resonance that ensures his readers will become fully invested in the trials and tribulations they each face. But don’t be quick to take things at face value because there are lots of plot twists and surprises to come as an adrenaline fueled ride brings us hurtling towards what proves to be a cracking cliff hanger ending!
A highly enjoyable and ambitious start to a series with much potential Inferno Dawn should prove a genuine boon for fans of fantasy fiction and is highly recommended!
A book comprising of the ‘Facebook Blog’ meanderings of Bridgette Campbell, Denham Hall is an amusingly wry observation of the upper class, seen through the eyes of an oestrogen-fuelled pubescent teen.

Barr’s narrative is sophisticated. Treating his story’s religious overtones with the utmost sincerity whilst exploiting the best-loved tropes of the Occult Horror and Thriller genres to deliver a novel that is by turns dark, mysterious, and chilling.
Branding is important in any business and whilst often overlooked by authors, particularly those who are self-publishing it is an essential element of any authors marketing strategy.
We are constantly and enduringly fascinated with fictional accounts of parallel existence, alternative realities and genetic engineering. Films such as ‘The Fountain’ present immortality as attainable, whilst books such as ‘The Book Thief’ (Markus Zusak) explore the nature of death, in this case by death himself acting as narrator.
Go back not so many years and an author was just that-an author…. who wrote, and at the most maybe edited their own work. How different things are today!
