Frankly, the whole vampire genre has been oversaturated and killed with too many novels geared towards the young adult market, like <em>Vampire University, The Vampire Diaries, Twilight<\/em>. The genre needs a stake driven through it\u2019s lifeless heart and resurrected \u2013 and that is what J<strong>ulie Hutchings<\/strong> has done with her novel <em><strong>Running Home<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a book about brooding, misunderstood vampires with perfectly sculpted bodies and the woman that fall in love with them. This is a mixture of dark horror and the supernatural with an infusion of Japanese myth. It\u2019s a book of twists and turns that at times you\u2019ll scratch your head and say, \u2018what the hell, didn\u2019t see that coming.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>There are no stereotype vampires in Ms. Hutchings debut novel. The main vampire protagonist Nicholas isn\u2019t always a nice guy, and our female protagonist Ellie has got issues and is at times is a weak person. These flaws give the characters a sense of being real. The novel is slow to start but the horror soon kicks up and has ending that will leave you with a hunger for more.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Running Home<\/em><\/strong> is a solid debut novel by Julie Hutchings that doesn\u2019t suck, literally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":621,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[49,136,197,198,239,241],"class_list":["post-620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-books-of-the-dead-press","tag-julie-hutchings","tag-running-home-review","tag-running-homw","tag-ts-alan","tag-ts-alan-dark-horizons"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Running Home by Julie Hutchings review - TS Alan<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Running Home by Julie Hutchings review.
