I would describe this book as more creepy than scary.
Upon recommendation from a friend I decided to veer off my romance only reading and pick up Promised Land Lane. The though of reading a horror book gave me the shivers. I don't watch horror movies either. I was not ready to love this story but I did. Marcus Brown has broken through my romance focused genre walls. So much so, I can't wait to read book 2.

Brilliant, scary and gory with a touch of love!!
I started reading this story not out of love for scary stories at all, but out of love and respect for other books written by Marcus Brown. Yes, I was scared reading it, but not disappointed by any means. I'm still getting used to reading horror and gore, and this book didn't let me in gently, some parts making me quite nauseous, but strangely, I loved it! At times I couldn't read or turn the pages quick enough....I'm sure there were moments when I ...more

This was a really awesome book. Loved the story and how it was written. It has just enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat and some awesome scenes with Maisie.

Marcus Brown has turned the creepy factor up to ten!
The additional content is a fantastic addition to this already spellbinding story.
Goosebumps covered my body while reading this twisted tale of a little girl, Maisie, who was treated horribly and is the focal point of the story. There are new scenes with haunting descriptions where she seems to come alive in full color.
A 5-plus star read
Revised Review: I was given the opportunity to read the new and revised version of Promised Land Lane.

Amazing!!!!! I could not put this book down. I don't read Horror, creepy or scary but this story had me flicking the pages and reading it in an afternoon. It's suspenseful and has mystery involved in deaths that happened over 100 years ago. This story had some humour and a bit of a love story and a whole lot of nail biting moments. I loved all the characters and the ending of this book had me feeling sad for Maisie, I can' t wait to start book 2 Army of Angels.

Wow I am so glad I took a chance on this book as horror is not my normal genre to read. Going in I was expecting a lot of horror and gore with little story. What I actually got was the exact opposite, a very well laid out story with some horror and creepiness. I found myself totally invested in these characters, the love David had for Maisie, the feelings between Sandra and David. I was so into the story, it actually made me cry at the end, I so didn't see that coming. Marcus was able to provide
