Cover Blurb:

Not all Saints are born with Halos… One was born with Claws… 16th Century Ireland Edyth Kenley always feared the woods. She was well aware of the dark magic found there. Each night the Druids crossed the path outside of her cottage, leaving her alone due to her stepfather's ties to their circle. How long would it be before they decide her growing powers would be of use? Patrick Blakesley hunted Druids. Cursed by an Archangel, Patrick was forced to follow orders against his will, and has grown into a bitter, reckless drunk. He cares for nothing other than himself... that is until he chances upon a daring young woman who was willing to risk her life to save another. As Edyth's magic continues to grow, so does the Druid's desire to possess it. In order to keep her safe, Patrick will have to put aside what’s left of his humanity and possibly bring an end to his immortality. Of Serpents and Wolves is a loose retelling of the Legend and Myth of Saint Patrick, the Patron saint of Ireland. Legend has it that St. Patrick drove the legions of serpents out of the land. But as you'll come to see, not all serpents slither....

Of Serpents and Wolves: The Broken Saints (Book 1) By Author M. M. Shelley – Book Review

“The blade cut into her flesh from throat to belly. They were slicing her open.”

M.M. Shelley writes a hit vampire story, Of Serpents and Wolves. The story delves deep into the darkness of the vampire, with an extra bite: wolves.

           Combining imagery, both beautiful and horrific, the story will not disappoint fans of Horror fiction. I winced when I read this, a scene I considered quite dark:

“My brother was worked to death, and there was nothing I could do to protect him. They didn’t bury him after he died, simply rolled him down a hill, and left his body for the dogs to feast on.”

I enjoyed Of Serpents and Wolves and award it 4 stars.
