ONLINEBOOKCLUB.ORG: 4/4 ...a fantasy series full of magical creatures in an urban environment...I recommend it.
CLARION RATING: 4/5 In the fantasy novel Black Oak, citizens across two ears reckon with strange creatures among them.
READERS' FAVORITE: 5.5 Murphy's Black Oak is a fast-paced and atmospheric story about the struggle between good and evil...His characters are authentic and believable, and his plot keeps the reader edgy and expectant. WELCOME TO BLACK OAK!
In the town of Black Oak, nothing is ever what it seems. Besides the wrangling local country-types, the city is marred by a history of indiscretions, murders, and no-named civilians perpetrating as heroes. But beneath the surface of this run of the mill, Midwestern locale lurks a pervasive past that is about to come full circle: like a blazing blood moon. Mark is an unassuming trucker who has fallen for a beautiful clerk working at a Mom & Pop store named Sharon, and nothing else in the world matters more than stealing her heart. But after making a run into the Bayou to deliver a package, destiny steps in and serves him a plate of the unexpected, which sparks the flames of wickedness that will set his hometown ablaze. And as the secrets buried in this town begin to unearth, the truth will fan those burning flames until there is nothing left but ashes and chaos. In the end, the only mystery left to solve will be if this is isolated to one town or involve the fate of the entire world...
