A review by adrihean
Brothers of Blood by J.T. Patten

2.0

 

An eerie and unsettling horror novel that plunges readers into the story of two brothers, John and Wayne, who wake up in a blood-soaked alley with no memory of how they got there. Their journey to uncover the truth takes them down a dark and twisted path, where they form an alliance with Jacques, a vampire, in exchange for newfound power and a sense of purpose. However, their choices lead to a growing sense of guilt, unsettling nightmares, and confusing memories that haunt them. 

 

“Brothers of Blood” by J. T. Patten is an eerie horror book. While the premise of the book is interesting, I found the narrative somewhat confusing, with the brothers' memories and inner dialogues often conflicting, which made it difficult to fully engage with the story. I wished for more depth in the character interactions, as some of them felt a bit one-dimensional. On the positive side, the book excels in creating a gruesome and cruel vampire world that adds a compelling layer of horror. 2 out 3 stars.
