I would like to share a new YA Novel with you called Scourge: The Kiss of Death by Terry Weston Marsh. I received a PDF Copy of the book from the Author and Voracious Readers for the review. Inside this post is my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.
Scourge: The Kiss of Death brings action, adventure, humor, family, honor, and even a love story for us in Scourge: The Kiss of Death. Which is all part of the journey into Olde Earth with these characters. David read the story with me and said the plot reminded him of Lord of the Rings and before you ask me if that is true I can’t tell you because I’ve never read Lord of the Rings and don’t plan on it. How about you?
Scourge: The Kiss of Death was written for young adults but I am not sure it isn’t more for adults because of all the gore I wouldn’t want my children to read about. But everyone is different so you might want to have your young adults read the story and if you do I would read the book with them because adults will enjoy the story just as David did. I found many portions to be scary and frightening and even gory to the point I wasn’t sure I would finish the story but I did.
Scourge: The Kiss of Death is about a young peasant boy who witnesses the brutal murder of his parents. The Author has the character thrust immediately into revenge mode as young Geoffrey not only seeks revenge for the murder of his parents but to also reclaim his nobility. Be ready for a page turned that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
About the book:
“Breathtaking and captivating―an epic adventure!”
―Leslie K. Barry, bestselling author
With Scourge threatening to wipe out Olde Earth, a young peasant finds that he must battle a murderous tyrant in order to save himself, his country, and the woman he loves.
Geoffrey, a young man of noble birth, is horribly disfigured as a child the night his parents are murdered. On the verge of starvation, Geoffrey decides to reclaim his inheritance.
But things are not what they seem, and Geoffrey―fleeing for his life―must figure out who his true friends are before the woman he loves is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice…
“A wonderful story that takes you through every emotion imaginable!”
―Greg Gilpin, American composer
