In the beginning, John was given the choice to avenge his family or die alongside them. He made his decision and has been seeking redemption ever since. Is it possible for a vampire, who has done unspeakable deeds, to change his inherent nature enough to go to Heaven once he takes the big sleep?As if by divine intervention, our witty anti-hero stumbles across his potential salvation in the form … the form of Father Thomes Philseep. Only problem is the holy man has been battling evil entities, like John, his entire life. Can a preternatural being convince a warrior of the Light to help him cleanse his soiled soul — or does an eternity in the abyss of Hell await the abomination? Most importantly, did he leave the oven on?

Highly recommended. I haven’t laughed so hard from a book in a very long time.
This book is the perfect blend of action, humor, tragedy, and paranormal. I absolutely loved the author’s style of writing. This prequel guaranteed that I’d be reading all the books in this series.
DELIVERANCE: (Book 0.5 The Preternatural Chronicles): HUNTER BLAIN: Narration: LUKE DANIELS.
AN ALPHAHOLE VAMP WITH A CONSCIOUS, AND A MAN OF GOD ON A MISSION: CLEAN UP THE STREETS OF HOUSTON & TAKE OUT THE TRASH!
THE ULTIMATE ODE TO A BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER! JOHN ON, WAYWRD SON!! YOU’LL FIND PEACE WHEN HUNTER’S DONE!!!
Word of warning, this is not your average teen or young adult series with young, sexy, brooding, shirtless, sparkly (usually) or bronze sculpted statues as vampires & other supernatural predators.
While John may be a Vampire, there’s nothing young about him. And Yes he may technically be broody & is a big unit built like a brick sh@#house. But the sexiest thing about John is his mind & the way he uses it!
It’s in his thirst for redemption, the protection of the innocent & doing the right thing.
So If you don’t like meaningless death, violence and bad guys/girls used as blood bags, or foul-mouthed Supes and If reading/listening to a gifted author & narrator each blessed with a true affinity to entertain, whom both ooze talent from every pore of their souls with a crazy, warped senses of humour and razor-sharp wits to match their alter-egos fangs, then I suggest you go read/listen to something more to your speed or liking, perhaps Twilight or Harry Potter, but if you like your Vamps & Supes Harder, Meaner, Faster, Dirtier, Nastier with True Grit & Determination, more like ‘True Blood,’ or the book version ‘The Sookie Stakehouse Series’ appealed to you, then this new series just might be your thang, by an author & narrator with a bit of a twang, for an Alphahole Vampire with fangs!!!
And there’s oh so much more waiting for you to discover behind that amazing cover of John walking through the wrought iron fenced gate.
And not only is it a gate, its the gateway that’ll lead you to a new adventure… The latest & greatest Odysseus into urban fantast this year!
A Deliverance for your soul!
All Hail King Hunter, & Daneils!
How I bow to thee, and on bended knee, with nose and palms flat to the floor, I want to read & listen, Johning On forevermore!!!
For the ‘Man on a Mission’ who writes the words for his brother from another. Straight and true from his heart just for you.
John, if only you knew & were here to read how a best friend has honoured you. But then perhaps you do?
And for the Man on a mission who bought you back with his dulcet tones, you no longer live on just in words.
You’re now in our hearts, ears, mind & senses as his drawl soothingly drowns us in your soul!
John on is in Him, John On is in Her,
John On is in Me, & now John On is in Infamy!
This book and audio was my Deliverance from a day of pain, misery & sorrow. Turning my frown upside down & dialling back the pain.
Whisked away, transporting me from my 4 walls & sickbed & into John’s head, enabled me to play each role.
I was so excited to begin this new series by Hunter Blain,
it was raved about in Shayne Silvers Den of Freaks by the man himself, who brought Hunter Blain in under his own publishing company ‘Argento Publishing’ as his third latest author.
It’s all about signing talent & giving back to new independent authors & mentoring them along with his incredibly successful winning formula! Shayne, you are a Legend, thanks for bringing this stud to your stables.
‘DELIVERANCE’ is a short story prequel only 52 pages long, but well worth the read. It brings about the origins of two men who’d normally be on opposite sides in the eternal war between Good versus Evil.
In the Right Corner we have John Cook: A 500-year-old Vampire, but one with a big difference, a monster with a conscience and a heart of cold. It’s almost like his soul was left intact.
And in the Left (Light) Corner meet Father Thomes Philseeps: The oh so cool, calm and collected ‘Holy Man’ with an arsenal of weapons including ‘Holy Fire’ & ‘Friends in Very High Places’!
After an initial meeting er Uhm… perhaps I should say battle,
an offer is made. After a second more conductive & amicable meeting, that very odd proposal is sealed in a deal. Secretive plans of affirmative action are put into place to bring about the unlikeliest of partnerships, the creation of a Dynamic Duo the likes of which have never been seen before [of Holy Hell], whilst keeping the details on the down-low. Unconventional times call for unconventional measures, by unconventional men fighting an unconventional war with unconventional opponents.
Their joint union [results in]: ‘A Mission for God!’ ‘The Good Fight for the Light’! An unexpected partnership between Holy & Hellish!
Get ready to experience every emotion known to Man, Monster, Woman, Priest & Beast upon this journey into the Supernatural. Laugh yourself stupid, cry a river of tears all, the while rooting for this monster to find the man within & redeem his soul.
Brought to from the incredibly talented writer who packs a punch, the witty punster with a heart, Hunter Blain & his offsider with the Award Winning Tones of perfection, Mr Luke Daniels timing is everything as this force for good & evil combine in what is set to be the Ultimate Battle to End the Ages!
I have to admit, I don’t normally like short stories as I’m always left wanting more, both in content quantity & quality, but this is not one of those. This has to be one of my favourite prequels to a series start, right up there with Shayne Silvers’ ‘Fairy Tale’ or J.R.R Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’.
I RATE DELIVERANCE 5 OUT OF 5
This is going to be one Hellova series and I for one, can not wait for the ride & the real fun to begin! JOHN ON!!!
I purchased both e-book & audio & this is my fair, honest & impartial review as always!

I found the story interesting and funny. Good character development. I would be interested in seeing where the next book leads.
