PRAISE FOR THE GENERATION V NOVELS
“M. L. Brennan’s Generation V urban fantasy series is a fresh, fun take on vampire lore. Reluctant vampire Fortitude Scott is one of the most interesting takes on vampires I’ve seen in a long time. Grab these books. You won’t be disappointed.”
—Stephen Blackmoore, author of Broken Souls
Tainted Blood
“Wickedly clever. . . . Rapid-fire prose and intimate characterizations infuse stock mythic figures with pertinence and attitude. Fortitude is an enthralling good boy going bad, struggling to merge monstrous powers with humility and wisdom. . . . Brennan’s smart, sassy, and seductive vampire mythos injects fresh blood into a lethargic subgenre.”
—Publishers Weekly
Iron Night
“A pitch-perfect addition to this imaginative, funny series. . . . Fortitude Scott is an earnest, engaging hero with a heart of gold. Fans will delight to see the return of his sidekick, Suze, in all her wild glory, as well as the rest of this fascinating cast.”
—Romantic Times
“A funny, refreshing urban fantasy tale. . . . Geek-inspired humor and unexpectedly sympathetic characters (particularly the deadly Madeline) help make this a novel worth reading.”
—Publishers Weekly
“An excellent sequel. . . . M. L. Brennan manages to entwine horror and urban fantasy strands smoothly.”
—Fantasy Book Critic
“These books are golden! . . . A fresh take on the bloodsuckers of the paranormal world.”
—Kings River Life Magazine
“Iron Night is just as good as Generation V. . . . There’s plenty of action and supernatural baddies to round out Fort’s narrative, but it’s Fort’s journey, within himself, and with his family . . . that really makes this shamelessly addictive series sing.”
—My Bookish Ways
“Ripe with mystery, suspense, and a cast of richly diverse characters that will have you laughing and rolling your eyes at their antics. . . . Brennan has brought back the dangerous and cruel supernatural creatures of old and integrated them into the modern society with nary a hitch.”

“Brennan’s vampires are much more complex than your run-of-the-mill vampires. They are the brainchildren of science and fantasy. . . . Extremely well written, the characters were well developed, the comedy was beautiful, and the serious parts made my heart swell.”
