A Book Review by Joe Ortlieb

Ever watch a 3.5hr long movie and when it was over it felt like you just started watching it because it was that good?

Blood Country is like that you start reading it and before you know it you're on the last page wanting more.

This is the 2nd Raven book but I feel you could start with this one and be fine. Enough of the back story is told that you catch on. Maybe because Janz tells a excellent story. It's packed with vampires, werewolf, cannibals, trolls.

As the story unfolds you become attached to the characters. Michael and Dez mess with each other like best friends or brothers do. Iris and Dez have a thing for each other. It's a story filled with emotions, packed with action and so much conviction that you feel like you're with the group fighting for your life, feeling the pain they do. The joy they feel.

To me when a story sucks you in the way Blood Country does then you know it's a winner. I could go into detail about the story say it has great character development all those things, but I never do. I feel that would ruin the story. This is one that needs to be read and enjoyed for yourself.

So if you're a fan of sci-fi/fantasy then I would say 100% check this out. It's top notch. So when this hits the shelves don't miss out.

“If you’re searching the horror horizon for a dark star, your next must-read, the silhouette you see coming your way is Jonathan Janz.”— Josh Malerman, New York Times best selling author of Bird Box

Book 2 in The Raven series

Three years ago the world ended when a group of rogue scientists unleashed a virus that awakened long-dormant strands of human DNA. They awakened the bestial side of humankind: werewolves, satyrs, and all manner of bloodthirsty creatures. Within months, nearly every man, woman, or child was transformed into a monster…or slaughtered by one.

A rare survivor without special powers, Dez McClane has been fighting for his life since mankind fell, including a tense barfight that ended in a cataclysmic inferno. Dez would never have survived the battle without Iris, a woman he’s falling for but can never be with because of the monster inside her. Now Dez’s ex-girlfriend and Iris’s young daughter have been taken hostage by an even greater evil, the dominant species in this hellish new world:

Vampires.

The bloodthirsty creatures have transformed a four-story school building into their fortress, and they’re holding Dez’s ex-girlfriend and Iris’s young daughter captive. To save them, Dez and his friends must risk everything. They must infiltrate the vampires’ stronghold and face unspeakable terrors.

Because death awaits them in the fortress. Or something far worse.
