Well drawn characters, a plot full of secrets and dark turns, and oodles of atmosphere.

18 August 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The intriguing title stirred my initial interest in this supernatural fantasy/horror story. A couple of chapters in I got that jolt you feel when a story reels you in and I was desperate to find out what would happen next to the Davenport family, especially Gabriel, the titular character. Early on the story elicited that delicious sense of dread when you know something wicked is coming the characters’ way.

With well drawn characters, a plot full of secrets and dark turns and oodles of atmosphere, due to the author's excellent descriptive powers, I was thoroughly entertained. The use of multiple points of view can sometimes be a difficult thing to master in a debut but this author used them to full advantage to keep the action at a thrill-inducing pace. Judicious reveals and a rising sense of menace kept me glued to the story right through to the very end. Bravo to Beverly Lee!

Eerie Tense Horror Story - Best read in daylight hours!

13 May 2016

Format: Kindle Edition

‘The Making of Gabriel Davenport’ is the debut paranormal novel of British Author, Beverley Lee. Lee skilfully delivers a tense fast-paced ghost story with both humour and warmth.
This dark, supernatural story is perfect for lovers of fantasy, mystery, and ghost stories.
The story begins with a chilling snow storm where readers are introduced to the Davenport family. I was immediately drawn into the minutia of the Davenport’s lives and was completely taken with the characters of Beth and Stu Davenport. Gabriel was a perfectly adorable baby boy and I loved all the little details Lee included which only made the story more compelling and more real. Everyday life is suffused with the eerie and chilling ancient darkness of the skittering Aka Maga who is intent on destruction.
Lee skilfully weaves the story within a brooding atmosphere while unveiling a fascinating cast. I was taken with Carver and Noah and Clove, and of course, Gabriel Davenport. Lee’s ability to make the ordinary more than what is is, with her poetic prose is both admirable and courageous.
‘The Making of Gabriel Davenport’ has plenty of cliff hangers to keeps readers on the edges of their seats. The fine craftsmanship and poetic prose of Lee’s writing is to be commended. ‘The Making of Gabriel Davenport’ is highly recommended and I would love to see this on the big screen.

A beautifully crafted novel.

13 May 2017

Format: Kindle Edition

What a great debut novel. This book had many great elements. The characters were believable with real problems and secrets. The writing was beautifully crafted and almost poetic. The metaphors placed you in the scene with brilliant imagery evoking all the senses. There were many chilling and heart rendering moments. From the first page I was hooked, sucked into a world of mystery, intrigue and an evil darkness. I absolutely loved this book with its many diverse characters who complemented one another with a story that twists and turns. It's hard to believe this is the first novel by Beverley Lee. I look forward to reading the next instalment. Congratulations Beverley on a beautifully written narrative.

The Making of Gabriel Davenport is a great horror story that ticks all the right boxes - a sinister demon, a priest, a paranormal research group, and a vampire that is predator-ish in all the best ways that vampires are! I really enjoyed reading this book! It definitely evoked shades of Anne Rice for me - the Manor, for example, reminds me of the Talamasca from The Queen of the Damned, which is one of my all-time favourite Anne Rice books. Aside from Gabriel, who is of course the protagonist, all the other characters in the book - like Carver, Ella, Ollie, Noah and Olivia - are very likeable and really shine through. (P.S. Olivia really is the best! Such a kick ass character!) It's the perfect book to curl up on the sofa on a rainy night and read - while looking over your shoulder of course!

I love Dean Koontz books, so when I heard about Beverley Lee's The Making of Gabriel Davenport, I just had to read it! And I was not disappointed. Suspenseful, even scary at times, this debut novel is beautifully written. The characters, good and evil, each have traits we can relate to, therefore making them bizarrely likeable! Well done Beverley Lee! I cannot not wait to get my hands on Book 2 in this series.
