Blurb:

What will you do when they come for your children?

The world has turned inward, away from the sun, in the wake of a mysterious disease that has altered the human race. No longer able to bear healthy human children, our mothers and daughters have brought vampire-like hybrids into the world, and with it a new order. Now that reproduction has been banned, those left with young children face a terrible and devastating decision - turn your babies over to the government or pay the price. For young Freya, keeping her brother hidden is the only real option.

Enemies of the state, Freya must stand between her family and the forces of a fearful world. Although her brother may not be human, there is little else separating her and those of the blue skin.

Choices will be made. Lines will be drawn. The battle for humanity has only just begun.


BLUE SKIN is the first book in a 5 part vampire dystopian, thriller horror series.

My Review Blue Skin Book One:

A virus is spreading fast through the human race. Babies are being born with blue skin, the sun burns them, they don’t drink milk like normal babies no they drink blood and they grow really fast. The government has put a ban on reproduction and anyone who gives birth to a blue skin vampire baby must turn it over to the government or pay the price.

Seventeen year old Freya learns that her mother is pregnant again. With all the miscarriages her mother has had Freya assumes that this pregnancy will be no different. Freya’s mother reveals that she is four weeks pregnant imagine Freya’s surprise when her mother gives birth at only eight weeks into the pregnancy.

When the baby comes out all blue and feeding off his mother Freya wants to call 911 but her mother want let her. This starts Freya down a long road of taking care of her brother and keeping him hidden from the world.

Blue Skin is a new take on vampires one in which I enjoyed tremendously and can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series. Where did the virus come from? How is it spread? I love vampires and dystopian worlds so imagine my excitement when I found Blue Skin with a combination of the two. I could wait to sink my teeth into it.

Blue Skin is a nice little introduction into the world of the blue vampires. It has suspense, mystery, blood, gore and a world that may be headed into an apocalypse.

I highly recommend Blue Skin to all fans of dystopian, vampires with a touch of suspense.

My Review Blue Skin Book Two:


Blue Skin Book Two picks up where Blue Skin Book One left off with Freya taking care of her brother Ben who was born a blue skin vampire. If the government finds out that Freya is hiding a vampire then she would be arrested but Freya only wants to keep her brother safe. She works at a job that just barely pays the rent in the rundown apartment they live in.

Freya comes home one night to find Ben missing so she has no choice but to go looking for him. She knows what he is doing. Ben has gone to feed. Freya has warned him on many occasions about going out and what will happen if he is caught but he just won’t listen I guess the hunger is to powerful for him to control.

When Freya finds Ben he is being attacked by some people who live in their part of town. Freya tries her best to make them stop to leave Ben alone but they want listen to her. They think all vampires are bad besides what will the government do to them if they find out. Who would be the one getting in trouble if the police are called Ben’s attackers or Freya?

Ben and Freya get lucky a man and woman, Wesley and Katrina find them and stop their attackers from killing them. They take Ben and Freya back to their home; the farm where there are high fences to keep out vampires or is it to keep someone in?

 Things at the farm are not what they seem to be at first. When the secrets start to come out Ben and Freya just may be in a world of trouble with no way out. They were betrayed. They were told that the farm was a safe place but is it? Can they escape with their lives? Or will this be the end of the road for this brother and sister?

Blue Skin Book Two like the first book is a fast read that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t seem to want to let go. It will pull you in to the world of the blue skin vampires. It is a very enthralling and intense read that will keep you hanging on for more.

If you like vampire books with a new kind of vampire then you are definitely going to love Blue Skin Book Two but I do suggest that read Blue Skin Book One first. The Blue Skin books need to be read in order.  



Blue Skin Book Three
A Vampire Dystopian Thriller
by Steven Jenkins
Published: December 2, 2018
Publisher: Different Cloud Publishing
Genre: Dystopia, Paranormal, Fantasy, Horror, Science Fiction, Vampires

Blurb:

A Secret lab. A prison. Deathrow.
Welcome to The Facility.


Broken and alone, Freya must find a way through its thick walls, and free her vampire brother before it’s too late.

But beyond the security cameras, the armed guards, and the smell of burnt bodies, something is waiting for her.

Something much worse…


Goodreads ~ Amazon



My Review Blue Skin Book Three:

Freya’s blue skin vampire brother has been taken by the HCA to their labs to experiment on him. They are keeping him locked up behind bars. Freya must find a way to infiltrate the labs to save her brother.

With the high security surrounding the place she needs a good plan or maybe a little help. How is she going to get inside the walls of the lab? How will she ever get Ben out?

There is more waiting for Freya inside the walls than she ever imagined. Monsters lurk behind the walls of the lab and they are not all vampires.

Secrets are revealed about Freya and her past in Blue Skin Book Three. Some questions they have been on the tip of everyone’s tough who has read Blue Skin Book One and Blue Skin Book Two are being answered in Blue Skin Book Three but in the end they are still more and more questions left to be answered.

Blue Skin is a world filled with blue skin vampires whose numbers are growing and is heading the world to an apocalypse future with maybe the extinction of the human race as we know it.

I would recommend Blue Skin Book Three to anyone who loves a good vampire novel set in a dystopian society. Blue Skin touches on almost all of my favorite genres all rolled into one. I can’t wait to see where the next book in the series takes us what journeys the characters have for us.
