Review: I was a little scared ;-)

In Remnants of the Damned Gavin Hetherington blends horror and urban fantasy, repeatedly unwinding the events of two days from five viewpoints, all as dramatic as the other.This is a fast-paced story which is horrific and alarming, but still we are obliged to continue reading. The fact that Lakefield View is an imaginary town in no specified country gives Gavin Hetherington's plot more impact. Although the Lakefield Ripper is just urban legend we are constantly aware that bloody murders, like those in the story happen all over the world and whether the reader is from the UK or US there is a level that these events resonate.Each character in Remnants of the Damned is completely individual but all are connected by their workplace and the terrifying situations they are placed in. Although there are points in which their stories overlap this did not make me frustrated, only anxious for the mysteries to be solved and the perpetrator(s) found.Gavin Hetherington is able to hook his reader into The Abyssal Sanctuary series by ending the novel with a shocking and unanticipated cliffhanger. I hope the sequel is released soon but for the time being I urge you to go and grab Remnants of the Damned while it is still FREE!!I received this as a complimentary review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
