- Pumpkin Jack Skull and Other Tales of Terror
on March 21, 2010
Some of these stories are just terrifying. Not in the Stephen King sense of terrifying, but the way you portrayed that little boy in Pumpkin when he was standing there with his fingers in his mouth after his dad was devoured by the demonic thing in the pumpkin!!! I just wanted to cry. No mother could read this and not cry. And Benjy in Witch's Spawn was such a pathetic, poor little soul. How could you paint a picture of any mother being so cruel to her little boy? I know some people are like that. I hope your mother wasn't. All in all these were really good stories. They tugged at my heart in more ways than one. I had chills running up my spine in several stories. Write more of these. I like being scared.
- Parallels
on March 21, 2010
I love your romance scenes. You should write romance novels. This is a fine piece of sci-fi, fantasy, super-power type fiction. The interaction between all the characters is so real it's like actually being there and watching these people go through their dialogue. That's your best selling point I think. Very chilling the way Tori entered that house and all that happened when her friends came to rescue her. Excellent scene at the end.
- Superion
on March 21, 2010
I'm so glad you came out with this. Superion was fun to read especially when I did like you said and pictured Bruce Willis in those roles. Made the whole book "sound" better. The interaction between characters was wonderful and I was glad to see everything turn out all right in the end - sort of. Does the ending mean there will be a sequel or was this just a teaser? Anyway, the style was great and was very easy to read. I like how you don't bog your stories down with too much information/descriptions the way a lot of authors do. Two thumbs up from me! And your covers are always so vivid! Great artwork and design. Do you do them yourself or do you have a professional artist make them for you?
- Rebirth of the Gods
on April 06, 2010
From the cover I thought this might be a romance story - and I was right, but not even close to what I expected with all the eroticism I discovered (I soooo love eroticism). Once more Jacob Drake has written a story of super-heroic proportions that crosses the dimensional barrier (He must not be satisfied with the world he lives in) and wreaks havoc with the new world the hero - em, maybe villain would be a better choice of words? - finds himself living in. This time we get a villain who is the protagonist, but is he really a villain? From the many rapes of innocent women he commits and the way he manipulates everyone he comes into contact with it certainly seems that way. But does he have a softer, more human side to him? Hmmm, well worth buying and reading this book to find out how it ends. Great job on Drake's part in crafting this story - start to finish. I'm impressed.
- Forever Undead

What a great change from all the "vegetarian" vampire fluff that's flooding the market. Finally someone who has the guts to make vampires what they are - savage bloodsuckers. I hope to see more of this author's work in this genre.
- Dark Angel: Fallen
on June 03, 2010
Jacob Drake's latest book in the superhero offering is much different from what he's written before while still retaining a familiar flavor. I enjoyed reading Dark Angel Fallen from start to finish and hope there's a sequel in the future. Excellent progression of character development for the protagonist (Griff). having him tell his story in the first person made me feel more relaxed with him as though he was a real person I could relate to. Write more of this character and I'll be back to read it.
- Rebirth of the Gods
on June 03, 2010
It looks like Jacob Drake has changed the cover of this book. I think this is a great move. This cover is so much better than the first one, even though it now doesn't reflect everything I said in my previous review. lol Still an excellent book and well worth the cover price to read. I'm still waiting for book number two...
