"Rivaling both Stephen King and Thomas Harris, without doubt, the edgy and provocative Luke Romyn is destined to emerge as the 21st century's newest Master-of-Horror." -- Dee Marie - Award winning author of the Sons Of Avalon saga
"Blacklisted and The Dark Path gave me an idea of what to expect, and a new Romyn reader should probably warm up with at least one of them. Beyond Hades is simply... more. More edge, more twists, more speed, more intrigue. Buckle up and hang on, because this is the best yet from Luke Romyn." -- Adina
"An Intense Ride!!! ... Luke Romyn is a master of suspense and non-stop action... a story that gives the reader an intense ride into a world filled with guns, blood, fights, death, sex, passion, determination, insanity, evil, and even love, albeit a twisted, broken thing." -- American Leo
"A non-stop adrenalin rush! ... Ludlum would have been proud, or jealous. A big time five-star read which you don't want to miss!" -- Claude Bouchard, author of Vigilante
"Hooked from the start... There's never a dull moment for the characters or the reader. Any fan of action stories must read Blacklisted." -- Christy Brown
"What's Yer Major Malfunction, Soldier??!! ... The pace was PERFECT in fact and drove me along like a military humvee on a mission to the end." -- E. Kelly
"A Kick Ass Thriller... The writing is tight, pacing is good, and the main character is appealing, despite his violent past." -- Richard P.F.
"A gripping page turner! ... Action packed with some very well placed wit throughout. This is definitely a must read." -- Tina Lewis
"Astonishing insight into apparently amoral evil, derived from pain... To term this novel "A Psychological Thriller" would, IMO, misrepresent its sensitivity and power. The Dark Path is a book that seems to defy categorization, which is an amazing accomplishment... This book casts a spell that is, for me, more beautiful than horrifying." -- Mysterious Microburst "Apocryphal Raven"
"Ah, this is seasoned writing. 5 PLUS STARS... This deserves wide acclaim. The Dark Path is one fantastic thrill ride." -- Glen Cantrell
"A compelling, thought provoking...EXCELLENT MUST read!! ... The book is brilliantly written...bringing such vivid life to his characters...and mind provoking predicaments... It has been a very long time since I found myself so involved in a work of fiction." -- A.J. Luck
"Despite being an extremely dark and twisted story of horrific violence and tragedy, The Dark Path is also a story of hope and redemption. Vain’s struggles within himself and with the outside world affected me greatly. You really do come to like this incarnation of evil and want him to win, for all our sakes. With the addition of Sebastian, Vain’s complete and total opposite, they make a duo of epic proportions. A very profound work of fiction that will make you think. One of the very best horror stories I’ve read in a long time."

"At first glance, Vain is just an ordinary hit man who is very cruel man. However, the more you read; Luke Romyn lets readers into what makes man into this killing machine with no emotions. This page-turner novel just gets me more and more addicted. The storyline is so unique that readers will not find anything remotely similar. This goes beyond one man's struggle to the road of redemption. We get to see behind scenes of more than the character of Vain. Dark Path just got under my skin. As hard as tried to stop reading Dark Path, I became like a woman obsessed until I finished the book."
5 Stars from Strictly Reviews
"Luke Romyn has descriptively brought to life the most gruesomely evil-incarnate harbingers of Hell while also bringing forth the most Divine visions of Heavenly entities in this imaginative and gripping story of a man turned evil by hatred and then redeemed by caring. Mr. Romyn's sprawling vistas of unholy places and unnatural beings will make you glad you live in the normal world and may make you a little afraid to turn out the lights. This story is wonderfully written and excitingly powerful from beginning to end. I absolutely enjoyed this book and will be anxious to pick up another Luke Romyn masterpiece in the very near future."

"I would definitely recommend The Dark Path to readers who enjoy dark fiction with protagonists that don’t easily fit into the categories of good and evil. This book definitely has something to offer for a reader looking for a supernatural fiction story combining gunplay action with horrific religious-themed fantasy."
4 stars from The Book Huntress
"The Dark Path takes you on the journey of a man, Vain who is forced into protecting young Sebastian. Fighting against a group known as the Souls of Sordarrah he finds himself pitted against an evil unlike any he's ever known. Vain's struggle to keep Sebastian safe and from harm will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the page in a relentless quest to find out more. I have to thank the author, Luke Romyn for opening my eyes to a new genre and making me thankful for giving into my curiosity."
5 stars fromNicole Morgan - Books I Review
Romyn’s story is brutal, to the point and is told in a way that keeps you from comfortably assuming the antihero will win the day and, thus, his personal redemption, right up to and including the end of the book. If you like a fast moving, thrilling fantasy that keeps you thinking, then The Dark Path by Luke Romyn belongs on your bookshelf.
Clifford Bye - The Deepening
"For a Thriller, this book is so much more…I highly recommend this thought provoking read, you will NOT be disappointed."
