BOOK SPOTLIGHT & REVIEW: Blood of the Sixth By K. R. Rowe

Blood of the Sixth

By K. R. Rowe

Genre: Horror

In the quaint Southern town of Port Bella Rosa, something sinister lurks beneath the cobblestones. When hunger stirs a centuries-old evil, a demon awakens, releasing its hunters in search of prey. Jackals swarm from the mist, seeking out their quarry and sating their master with offerings of human flesh.

Allie Kent catches a glimpse of the first victim: a corpse with its organs, muscle and bone all consumed, leaving nothing more than skin behind. While police work to solve the unexplained murder, more bodies are found mutilated. Finally convinced the killer isn’t human, Detective Phillip Chambers is desperate to shield Allie from harm.

But something haunts Allie: shadows spill through her window at night; nightmares invade her sleep while visions confuse her waking thoughts. Struggling to keep her independence in check, she finds herself treading a thin line between reality and insanity, with Phillip her only protection. But is the evil dwelling beneath the stones their only true threat—or will the demons in Allie’s head have the strength to destroy them both?

My Review: 

October is the prime time to read Rowe’s book, Blood of the Sixth. It’s set in a historic home that houses more than just the story’s protagonist, Allie. Within the walls, the building has been storing deadly memories of death and jealousy. Creepy black shadows and a hungry demon stalk one person after another. The police have much more than they’ve bargained for with these mysterious deaths. I think I’ll read this one again and without a doubt rate it five stars!
