Great idea--don't go breaking into someone else's home! However, he is a teenager, and you know how they can be. Thanks for reading my review!

This sounds like a fascinating fantasy thriller. I'm curious about the reason behind the title and if John was there by coincidence or if this was planned to lure him in. I think the author did a great job using his imagination. Thanks for this great review!

Today's BOTD is a first-in-series novel that follows John Jones after he finds a set of ancient journals belonging to a vampire named Alexander McGill. Filled with action, adventure, and suspense, readers of the genre are sure to be engaged from the first to last page. Thank you so much for your helpful review! :-)

Children of the Eighth Day is a scary book indeed. I am sympathetic towards Alexander, who wants to stop his kind from destroying humanity. How does John involve in this? I do hope he will be able to make a difference. Thanks for your review.

I have never read a book about a vampire who wanted to save mankind, so this is unique to me. Thank you for your detailed review.

Based on your description of the plot, I believe the book will be a captivating read. Although I'm not a fan of vampire stories myself, I'm certain that those who are will appreciate it. Overall, your review was well-structured and informative. Congrats on BOTD!

Thanks for the review. Personally, I don't like very much fantasy novels of that kind (vampires). However, it seems that this original novel, in which one vampire betrays his vampire colleagues, and chooses to fight for the good of mankind, may be attractive for lovers of that genre.

I appreciate the honest review. Thanks for the warning that there are plenty of errors in this book as well as letting us know that the book was good despite its flaws. Surely people who love vampires, action, and suspenseful novels will like this. Well done review.

Impressive review as picturesque as the gory BOTD, Children of the Eight Day. Creation was merely 7 days thus thereafter the adversary sired monsters. Thence, the battle between the good and evil is unceasingly fought. This scary book about vampires excites the fearless and daring. It's creepy disturbing for the meek and reticent.

A book about vampires and a fight between good and evil. Although I'm not interested in vampires, my attention was captured by the super engaging writing style while I was reading the first pages of the book.

This will go for a cartoon or animation. I kept on picturing it in my head. I enjoy reading the review. Congratulations to the author on winning BOTD.

Good review and an excellent intro which was very suspenseful. I want to read this book although I am not sure how bad the editing was.
