Review for Viral Blues by C S Boyack #HumourousDarkComedy @virgilante

Someone knows about the hat. The creature from another dimension that helps Lizzie fight against the creatures of darkness.
They are summoned to a cryptic meeting with a secret society, where they meet other people with enhanced skills. It turns out someone, or something, has been tampering with the world’s vaccine supply. The goal doesn’t appear to be political or financial, but biblical pestilence.
Can this group of loners come together in time to make a difference when even the proper authorities are obstacles?
Check out Viral Blues, for your dose of paranormal adventure, with a strong sample of dark humor. And in recent superhero style, don’t miss the secret last chapter after the back material.

Our Review

I wasn’t sure about the premise for Viral Blues, considering the state of the planet right now. I thought it might be just a little too close for comfort, but the cast of characters soon grabbed me by my coat tails and pulled me into the story with wonderful enthusiasm!

Such an interesting idea, bringing all your favourite characters together in one book. They all fit together well, apart from the Hat, who, lets face it, has never been a team player but did his level best to rule the roost!

That extra chapter at the end was worthy of being compared to some of Hollywood’s best (and cringe-making) finales. It is extremely well written but nasty in the extreme, but villains should always get their comeuppance, shouldn’t they? And what happened to Danny O’Malley was poetic!

  1. I always wanted to bring Clovis back. When this idea hit me, only Gina’s secret society could pull this group together. Since she is acquainted with him, that was his way back.

    1. Truly amazing!

  2. Really enjoyed this one – I’m such a Clovis fan!

  3. Great review, Anita and Jaye, and congratulations to Craig on another winner. I have read Viral Blues and highly recommend it. Fast-moving plot, fun characters, and excellent writing.

    1. Thanks for weighing in here. So glad you enjoyed the story.

  4. It was a great review. Thanks, Jan.

  5. A great review, Craig! I loved how she said the characters grabbed her by the coattails and wouldn’t let go. :)

  6. Teehee, loved your review, especially the bit about the “last” chapter.
    I really enjoyed this one, too. So great to see all those fabulous characters together in one entertaining tale!

    1. I don’t know that it was required to wrap the story, but Clovis would go off on his own and take care of business. Adding it that way fit with the corny form of this series, I thought.

      1. It was a brilliant way to end what is really another part of the series!

        1. Glad you enjoyed the “ending credits” scene.

    1. Thank you for saying so here. Hope something in my catalog appeals to you. I’m planning on two more releases this year, one of which will be about Lizzie and The Hat.

      1. I have me eyes on Serang, Craig. Just trying to clear out the kindle a bit before I go on another buying binge. :-)
