Publisher Description

Laura Caxton vowed never to face them again. The horror of what the vampires did is too close, the wounds too fresh. But when Jameson Arkeley, broken and barely recognizable, comes to her with an unfathomable, unholy discovery, her resolve crumbles.

Arkeley leads Caxton to a tomb in Gettysburg recently excavated by a local archaeology professor. While the town, with its legendary role in the Civil War’s worst battle, is no stranger to cemeteries, this one is remarkably, eerily different. In it lie 100 coffins—99 of them occupied by vampires, who, luckily, are missing their hearts. But one of the coffins is empty and smashed to pieces.

Who is the missing vampire? Does he have access to the 99 hearts that, if placed back in the bodies of their owners, could reanimate an entire bloodthirsty army? How did the vampires end up there, undisturbed and undiscovered for 150 years? The answer lies in Civil War documents that contain sinister secrets about the newly found coffins—secrets that Laura Caxton is about to uncover as she is thrown into a deadly, gruesome mission of saving an entire town from a mass invasion of the undead.

"A perfect sequel to 13 Bullets. Wellington is on my must read list. Still keeps the Vampires scary, and gives you a little more insight to the mythology of the Vampires in his world. As soon as I was done, I picked up the next two books in his Vampire series (which I believe are the last two) Looking forward to the werewolf one as well. I'm ready to buy tickets to the first of his novels that's turned into a movie."

Quotes

  • “Wellington keeps the pace brisk, alternating action-packed chapters set in the present with chapters cast credibly in the form of extracts from period journals, letters and dispatches that gradually reveal the origin and intent of the vampire regiment and its enigmatic leader, Alva Griest. The taut narrative never slackens, providing thrilling entertainment for readers who like their horror raw and bloody.”

  • “Great to see a book that has creepy vampires. It makes a good change from the glut of sexy vamp books out there.”

    " Very good installment in this series. Wellington merges two storylines together in a fairly typical fashion (alternating chapters) but does so smoothly and effectively. The slight twist at the end is very believable and piques my interest in upcoming installments. "

    " This is the second book in this series and it started off a bit slow but then picked up and the ending was great. Just think how scary it would be to fight off 1 vampire let alone 99. Not as graphic as first but still a great storyteller with much attention to detail. "

    " Civil War Regiment, created to beat back the Rebels at Gettysburg, return to destroy the tourist season. Caxton and Arkley duke it out. Mayhem, death, and some abject silliness ensues. Body count and violence suitable for any sequel. "

    " Not as expository as 13 Bullets but it made it a faster read. Where as Bullets felt like the movie, Coffins felt like the pilot episode of the tv series. Don't get me wrong it was good, it just felt a little empty. "

    " I have to say, Wellington is a really creative guy. LOL! I had NO idea what he could mean by a "historical vampire tale" when I knew it was a continuation of the Laura Caxton story, which is set in 'present day'. NOW I know! He did a great job. "

    " An easy, fun read. The author's previous work 13 Bullets introduced the main characters and should probably be read prior to 99 Coffins as the storyline is frequently referenced. I enjoyed the creativity of Civil War vampires and the parallel storylines between past and present flowed well. "
