Blood Moon Apocalypse
An edge of your seat thrill ride, Blood Moon Apocalypse will grab you from the first sentence and never let go.
The moon fell dark before the world was cloaked in crimson—before the world changed forever.On the East Coast of the United States, Christopher Knight’s world divided when the blood moon rose. Shattered and torn, he lost almost everything and everyone he loved. Clinging to a shred of hope, he survived the first night of the changed world—a world that saw most people driven mad, transformed into bloodthirsty murderous husks of human beings. He learned he’d need to draw upon his every last reserve and every ounce of training to find his fourteen year old son. Having not seen another person unaffected by the moon, the chances seemed remote at best. With the mysterious arrival of a four-legged friend, he can’t help but feel that the creature is more than an ordinary dog, that it is a beacon of light guiding him toward his son, and showing him how to navigate the new world.
On the West Coast of the United States, twenty year old twin brother and sister Tyler and Taylor Smith feared they were the only two people who remained unchanged after the night the blood moon rose. Surviving the new world seemed an impossibility until they realized they possess abilities they never dreamed possible. They soon learned that there are others out there like them, and that all hope is not lost.
Across the United States, an evil even more dangerous than the mindless savages the moon created lurks on the horizon. An evil so dark, the unaffected survivors of the world will need to band together to battle, for a war has been waged. Who will win and survive life after the blood moon apocalypse? Find out …

About the author
Jennifer Martucci
61 books117 followersJennifer and Christopher Martucci hoped that their life plan had changed radically in early 2010. To date, the jury is still out. But late one night, in January of 2010, the stay at home mom of three girls (all under the age of six) had just picked up the last doll from the playroom floor and placed it in a bin when her husband startled her by declaring, “We should write a book, together!” Wearied from a day of shuttling the children to and from school, preschool and Daisy Scouts, laundry, cooking and cleaning, Jennifer simply stared blankly at her husband of fifteen years. After all, the idea of writing a book had been an individual dream each of them possessed for much of their young adult lives. Both had written separately in their teens and early twenties, but without much success. They would write a dozen chapters here and there only to find that either the plot would fall apart, or characters would lose their zest, or the story would just fall flat. Christopher had always preferred penning science fiction stories filled with monsters and diabolical villains, while Jennifer had favored venting personal experiences or writing about romance, as romance was far easier to invent fictitiously than it was to attain in real life. Inevitably though, frustration and day to day life had placed writing on the back burner and for several years, each had pursued alternate (paying) careers. But the dream never died. And Christopher suggested that their dream ought to be removed from the back burner for further examination. When he proposed that he and his wife author a book together on that cold January night, Jennifer was hesitant to reject the idea outright. His proposal sparked a discussion, and the discussion lasted deep into the night. By morning, the idea for the Dark Creations series was born.
The Dark Creations series was written while Jennifer and Christopher continued with their day to day activities and raised their young children. They changed diapers, potty trained and went to story time at the local library between chapter outlines and served as room parents while fleshing out individal sections of the book. Life simply continued. And in some ways, their everyday lives were reflected in the characters of the series. In fact, the main female characters are named after three very important people in their lives: their three daughters. Their likenesses end there, however.
As the story line continues to evolve, so too does the Martucci collaboration. Lunches are still packed, noses are still wiped and time remains a rare and precious commodity in their household in upstate New York, but it is the sound of happy chaos that is the true background music of their writing. They hope that their work, though penned for a young adult audience, will be appreciated by the young of every age, and that all enjoy reading it as much as they enjoyed writing it.

The One Left
This story sees a lunar eclipse change people into violent killers. Only a very few are not affected by the red moon. Now the battle lines are truly drawn as the ones left form into groups of good and evil people. Twins Taylor and Tyler can sense when someone is evil as can Father MacQuaud. The book also follows Chris an army ranger searching for his son CJ and also sensing when others are evil. My favorite character is the dog a lab named Lourdes who seems as smart as the humans and protects them with his life. I enjoyed this first book and know I will read the next one in this series.

Editor please
Okay, the storyline is good. The characters are good too, though need more depth, which is usually done in the first book in a series. We know all about Clayton, but very little about others. I strongly encourage you to hire an editor. There's tons of typos, misspellings, redundant words and punctuation issues. All that aside, it's a good book.

needs editing 3.5 stars
This is a clear homage to King’s The Stand. Some characters echo those and the post apocalypse story is derivative. I keep expecting Carl to go “m o o n. That’s spells moon.” There are some good parts to it, and the concept is cool. I would have given this a 4 stars, but it desperately needs an editor, especially close to the end.

Missing paragraphs
Your story is good, wish I could have finished it. But your sentence ran together making it hard to read. Maybe if there is a corrected version I'll read it then. Keep writing.

Enjoyed it very much
From the opening scene to the very last sentence, Blood Moon Apocalypse captured my attention and didn’t let go!! I truly enjoyed the characters, the story, the visuals and the upbeat pace and excitement.

DNF. It could be a good book but for me it needs some editing. Instead of enjoying the read, it felt like I was driving a jalopy that kept stalling so I will quit before I waste more reading time.
