Belinda Fellgate – The Kiss of Flauros Can a 14, soon to be 15 year old, girl called Belinda save us from 'a power grab that could destroy the Universe as we know it?'...Well, maybe if she's a HellCat, complete with accompanying warlock, golden angel and a warrior cat named Mr Jinks. The phrase 'Hell's bells' was sculpted to describe the page-turning, squeamishly magnificent second novella in the Belinda Fellgate series, in which the Circus Macabre aims to capture kids' souls for Satan as well as snuffing out the HellCat, Belinda's alter ego who comes with talons, razor sharp teeth and a killing instinct that would make Dracula himself hang up his cloak. In the first short story we had scary Victorian dolls; in the latest adventure we have a petrifying, putrifying clown, his bull-headed minotaurs and Mirror Master...'Beware especially the clown's welcoming smile, for he is evil incarnate...' Amongst the grizzly goings-on in the outskirts of Salford, voices and visions appear from the Shadow Realms with warnings, screeches and seductively spine-chilling missives from an array of other worldly wanderers... 'Confusion...there was so much confusion. So many questions to torment Belinda. As for things getting crazier by the minute – crazy had barely begun...' Gulp! Belinda Fellgate: The Kiss of Flauros by David C Holroyd and Tracy J Holroyd, is out now on kindle (paperback edition is delayed because of COVID-19) for £3.98 – click here.

| WELCOME TO HELL’S INSURGENTS!
Trying to look for the perfect "POP" word to start my review is proving to be quite a challenge. Why? Because I absolutely loved everything about this book and, for the life of me, can't think of any word stronger than the word "LOVE"!
Paranormal forces close in on Belinda and her companions when they visit the dreaded Circus Macabre. I can guarantee that you will form an instant attachment to the characters, who are incredibly relatable with NO disconnect whatsoever.
Understand, though, this attachment actually starts in book one, Belinda Fellgate: HellCat, but grows exponentially in the Kiss of Flauros.
Without giving too much away, have you ever read a book that has the ability to scare you? That has an ominous aura? Well, trust me, you’ve found it here! When a book has a character comparable to Dracula, a green black-eyed giant with brown-stained canine teeth, behemoths with men’s bodies and bulls’ heads, and a red frog-like creature called “Snotnose”, what more can I say? And if that’s not enough, enter the Dark Lord himself - Satan!
Welcome to Hell’s insurgents!
As with the first novella, HellCat, predictability is STILL NOT THERE. Every paragraph leaves you guessing; wanting and needing to know more.
Will Belinda receive the Kiss of Flauros on her fifteenth birthday? Flauros, the ferocious panther demon whose legions guard Hell’s Gate. If Belinda accepts his kiss, she will achieve maximum power to challenge the most evil demon of all: Malamok.
I could go on and on, but I'll give you just one more tidbit. Amongst the new characters in this book is a long-haired boy. He is important because he highlights one of the most pivotal points this novella makes: the gargantuan horrors that captive dolphins suffer in the aqua-circus.
The authors have cleverly woven into this text the amazing true story of "The Perfect Pair": the two beautiful armor-clad Atlanteans who once performed and perished in the aqua-circus - a facet of this story I truly loved. Have the authors deliberately used the concept of the fictional Circus Macabre as a parallel to the horrors of the real-life aqua-circus?
I can't begin to tell you how proud I am to see this message - possibly one of the most pivotal anyone can imagine – because I'm not exaggerating when I say that, to my mind, the horrors of dolphin captivity are second to none.
This is a spectacular read, carrying illuminating insights, and I am literally counting the days until the release of the next novella, Belinda Fellgate: Malamok. |

| Thank you Stephen Kingston and Salford Star Magazine for your fantastic review of Belinda Fellgate: The Kiss of Flauros - the second book in the Belinda Fellgate teen fantasy novella series. Sadly, this beautifully-illustrated book has not gone to print because of Covid-19 restrictions, and we believe it is another 8-9 months away. However, the book is available on Amazon Kindle and receiving rave reviews. We have a big following overseas, so this series is putting Salford on the map. We hope all the Salford folk out there get behind it. Thanks again to you all for your support - and especially to you, Stephen Kingston. You are indeed a Salford Star! |
