Highly atmospheric and original, the world Taylor creates in Scripped is like no place I've ever imagined before. History and fantasy are woven together in such a disorienting way, I was left to wonder if the decayed mining town she describes in the book is real, and if it's secret inhabitants are there even now - stretched out on some dusty old mattress in a forgotten room, waiting for a lost hiker to stumble into their midst. Jonah, the conflicted soul at the heart of the story, loses himsel More...

Wheee, KV Taylor's first novel! Pretty bloody cool one, too. I love the world of the fae she's created - it goes to show that you don't need stone circles and mystical dark ages/middle ages history to weave compelling mythology out of, because something better might be lying out in your backyard mountain mining towns. Dark and bloody and... well.. something compelling, the word for which is eluding me - is what the Appalachian mining history already was, and it was waiting for someone this good More...

I wrote this. (Never woulda guessed, huh?) It's a dark paranormal/urban fantasy, like an old school fairy tale, but modern and Appalachian. Might appeal to fans of the original, dark as hell fairy tales and modern UF readers -- so long as you like it disturbing. Has a heavy undercurrent of One Screwed-Up Love Story, too.

I wrote this! Different pen name, but different themes. Bit of a f#@ked up love story involved, yeah, but more of a dark UF/paranormal than a romance. (Hence the two pen names, of course!)

This was OK. Not the kind of book I usually like to read. Review to come soon for Belfire Press.

A disturbing and sophisticated Fae tale set in Appalachian country. KV is an evocative writer, and drops you right into the skin of her tortured main character. (For anyone who's read the book, you'll get my pun...;)) Don't expect a happily ever after, but do expect to become invested in the MC's plight until the very last page. Darkly atmospheric and emotionally complex, SCRIPPED has some gruesome scenes and undertones of violence and GB sex, but it never feels gratuitous because it fits seamle More...

A delightfully, dark tale of the fae and a boy who wanders into their ghostly mining town. Heart-wrenching and the ending will have you screaming a mixture of yes! and nooooo!
