.”

Of Truth and Beasts

“With several twists and surprises, this series is never predictable [and] the impressively shocking, climactic ending left me wanting more…. Don’t miss this exciting series of magic, mythical creatures, and incredible lore.”

—SciFiChick.com

“A crowd-pleasing mix of intrigue, epic fantasy, and horror.”

Publishers Weekly

“
Of Truth and Beasts
…once again allows the reader the rare opportunity to travel into the uniquely imaginative realms that only [the Hendees] can create with such power and grace…. These novels are an integral and enlightening part of the Noble Dead Saga, which in total is no simple myth but rather a true epic [that] stands at the highest levels of fantasy lore…. The Hendees’ style of writing is verbally arresting, leaving the reader unable to put the novel down. They are a talented team of storytellers who are able to build a world that is both foreign and familiar…. This novel is a masterful conglomeration of manipulations, collusions, and deceits [that] allow for a situation where nothing is what it seems…. The only thing that could have topped the Hendees’ whirlwind ending was their epilogue, which will undoubtedly make the Noble Dead Saga fans stand up and cheer. I, for one, am hooked and eagerly await the next incarnation [of] this hypnotizing series.”

Child of a Dead God

“Readers who love vampire novels will appreciate the full works of Barb and J. C. Hendee, as they consistently provide some of the genre’s best…. The audience will want to read this novel in one sitting.”

—
Midwest Book Review

“Complex and bloody…. Interspecies distrust, grand ambitions, and the lure of dangerous secrets protected by the undead drive the action in this neat mix of horror with more traditional fantasy elements.”

—
Publishers Weekly

Rebel Fay

“Entertaining…a hybrid crossing Tolkienesque fantasy with vampire-infused horror…intriguing.”

Publishers Weekly

“A real page-turner.”

—
Booklist

Traitor to the Blood

“A rousing and sometimes creepy fantasy adventure…this is one of those books for which the term ‘dark fantasy’ was definitely intended.”

—
Chronicle

“A unique tale of vampires and half-vampire undead hunters set against a dark fantasy world ruled by tyrants. The personal conflicts of the heroes mirror the larger struggles in their world and provide a solid foundation for this tale of love and loyalty in a world of betrayal.”

—
Library Journal

Sister of the Dead

“[A] wonderful addition to the Noble Dead series…
Sister of the Dead
leads us on an amazing adventure that will keep you engrossed until the final chapter…. This is a series that will appeal to both horror and fantasy fans.”

—SF Site

“[An] intelligent dark fantasy series…. Much more than a medieval ‘Buffy Does the Dark Ages,’
Sister of the Dead
and its predecessors involve readers on a visceral, highly emotional level and fulfill a craving for nifty magic, exciting action scenes, and a strong heroine who defies genre cliches.”

Thief of Lives

“Readers will turn the pages of this satisfying medieval thriller with gusto.”

—
Booklist

“Fans of Anita Blake will enjoy this novel. The characters are cleverly drawn so that the several supernatural species that play key roles in the plot seem natural and real. Supernatural fantasy readers will enjoy this action-packed, strong tale, because vampires, sorcerers, dhampirs, elves, fey-canines, and other ilk seem real.”

Midwest Book Review

Dhampir

“
Dhampir
maintains a high level of excitement through interesting characters, both heroes and villains, colliding in well-written action scenes. Instead of overloading us with their world building and the maps and glossaries typical of so much fantasy, the Hendees provide well-rounded characters that go a lot further than maps in making a lively fantasy world.”

—
The Denver Post

“An engaging adventure that is both humorous and exciting.”

—
New York Times
bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson

“An altogether compelling and moving work…. These are characters and a world worthy of exploration.”
