Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Phil Price was born in Sutton Coldfield in 1974. He lived in various places in the UK until his family settled in Rednal, a suburb on the outskirts of Birmingham in 1979. Growing up with an older brother and sister, he always flirted with reading, his home always littered with books. Then in 1997, Phil embarked on a travel expedition that took him from Greece to Thailand, via East and Southern Africa. Sitting in dusty bus stations in Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi with Wilbur Smith and James Herbert accompanying him, his imagination was sparked into life. Since those far-off days, he has never been without a book to read.

Phil started toying with the idea of writing a book in 2009. After writing a few short stories, he caught a whiff of an idea in his head. It started to evolve in 2010 until he had enough to begin his writing journey. Marriage and two children came along, with the story being moved to the back burner for periods of time. However, during those periods of writing inactivity, the story continued to manifest until it just needed one thing. To be written down.

The story was littered with places that had influenced Phil's life. From the Lickey Hills in Birmingham to the Amatola Mountains in South Africa, with other many other locations, in-between and far beyond.

The book was finished sometime in 2014, left on his computer until a chance conversation with an author friend made Phil take the bold step to publish his story, Unknown.

From there, Phil’s love for the first book spurred him on, creating The Forsaken Series. A vampire/paranormal/horror saga, set in our world, and others too. His love of horror and all things supernatural, inspired by authors such as King, Herbert and others helped create the epic series.

After writing a science fiction novel, titled Zoo, Phil released his first psychological thriller, Ashes of Innocence, a story that he'd kept bubbling away for many years. This was quickly followed up by his seventh book, His Dark Shadow with a Cornish thriller series in the making, along with a standalone horror, The Awakening.

Aside from his writing, Phil lives on the edge of a small town in Worcestershire, UK. A wife and two sons keep Phil happily occupied as he steers his way through life, playing the husband, dad and world creator in equal measure

5.0 out of 5 stars Tamatan is the best! Stop using the word ‘babe’
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020

I bought the first book on a lark and proceeded to tear through the entire trilogy. Great characters, non-stop action - I’ve been up until 3:30am every day reading.

The only thing I hated about this series was the liberal use of the word “babe”. “Sure thing, babe....”, “you’re right, babe”, “You better be sorry, babe”, “I’ll be careful BABE...”, “ enough with the ‘babes’! It’s bad enough when I hear it in public - to have BOTH couples refer to one another this way was too much.

As the second book in a series, I kind of expected it to be slow reading. Boy, was I wrong! This book kept me up at night reading. Just when I thought I was getting to a place to stop for the night, something exciting would happen and I had to keep reading. Thank you, Phil, for keeping me awake.

In part, a closure and a beginning with gaining and losing characters while retaining other key players. The mix is unpredictable. The teaser for the next chapter is enticing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Phenomenal Adventure that is Truly Breath-Taking
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2020

The Turning is book two in the awesome Forsaken Series. From the moment the ice cold, sinister metal buttons belonging to child vampire William turn up on Jake’s doorstep, it’s a given that the peaceful, charmed idyll he’s built in Tintagel with his partner Katherine is going to come crashing down. What isn’t known at the time is the extent and degree of terror, trauma and heart-pounding adventure Jake will be subjected to!

The Turning is a tour de force of constant adrenalin. You barely catch a breath before the next scene leaves you reeling and you’re wondering how the heroes will escape. The book has superb pace, and a balance of dark and light, that keeps you awestruck but drenched in hope.

The power of characterisation is author Price’s forte. In Jake, the hero, he has crafted a formidable survivor who has the will, determination and strength of inner being to face such sights that would make a weaker man crumble. What makes The Turning so emotive and powerful is the aspect of family. Family in both the human and vampire contingents. Within Price’s words, the reader feels the pulse of togetherness. The need to stay as one indomitable, indefatigable unit; fortified by family love to weather any storm that hits – and goodness, they hit thick and fast!

Fracturing one part of that family unit leads to instability of the whole and thus, a greater chance of failure. Elias, the lead vampire tries to create the conditions to make those fractures happen in Jake’s family and our hero counters with unwavering fortitude. As is the way with Price’s brilliant storytelling, nothing is ever simple, and twists abound to knife or stake you breathless.

The Turning is unforgiving in its violent exploration of mankind’s most heinous sins. It is rather ironic that some of the most horrific and depraved moments are at the hands of humans rather than vampires. Indeed, one of the creatures, the little demon Tamartan is a selfless fighter, and honorable and trustworthy to the last.

It is unsurprising in a book weaving the finer considerations of dark and light; survival and sacrifice that one of the key characters is of a theological origin. Father Stephen is a troubled man. His faith has been shattered by Jake’s revelations, and you feel, from the instant Jake sought him out in book one Unknown, that this is a man who is possessed. But not with a malevolent spirit but with an obsession to see for himself the world beyond the doorway. Father Stephen was possessed with the inevitable expectation of his future fate.

The Turning illuminated the characters’ dangerous paths, whether driven out of necessity or by some dark curiosity, all the players were shown to be caught up, not able to step off the constantly turning Ferris wheel of 21st Century Earth and almost medieval Heronveld. The existence of the world beyond the door acting like a tractor beam on their souls and minds, pulling them, for good or bad, toward their intended destination. One can feel a sense of blind hope and faith is in operation. A do or die epitomized in each character’s actions. The Turning is less a sci-fi horror story, and more a celebration of family, friendship and home. And what lengths would you go to when those are threatened.

Throughout the book, there is a continual array of visceral imagery that brings the most amazing places to life as if they existed as places you know and have been to. A formidable book that holds the reader in its grasp with a tenacious force and doesn’t release you until the very last chapter. A fantastic story by a unique author – recommended one hundred percent.

The Turning is book two in the Forsaken series and once again I found myself sucked into different worlds which took my breath away. Book One left some unanswered questions which were nicely unfolded in the opening chapters. The whole tone of this book reminded my of the Lord of the Rings series, with a likeable bunch of protagonists banding together on a dangerous quest but retaining human relatable qualities such as the warmth, banter and wit between them. Nothing was boring about this book, the action is exciting, the monsters turned my stomach and some racy scenes left me hot under the collar. The author has a flare for creating excellent characters and I fell in love a little bit more with them in this second instalment. Besides the main hero Jake, other notable characters are Tamatan, Wilf and Father Stephen. I could also see myself wanting to hang out with the Finglers in Fingles! Yes I recommend this series to everyone who enjoys this genre and anyone else who likes to dabble in it. Just read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dimension plagued with evil beings!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 3, 2019

The Turning is book two of the Forsaken Series but read well as a stand-alone. I think the reader would gain a little more from the characters by reading book one first, but the story was complete, enjoyable and make full sense.

Jake will stop at nothing to save his wife and baby who are trapped in another dimension, a dimension plagued with evil beings and most notably, vampires. I loved Jake’s strength and determination, and was totally invested in his perilous journey.

I felt tense as the metaphorical ticking clock sped up, pushing this tale into an all or nothing situation - eek! I loved that I, as the reader, firmly rooted for Jake and his father to save the day. There is a book three - if you want to know if all ended well, you’ll have to read book two - haha.

I’d describe The Turning as fantasy-horror. The antagonists were dark and cruel. I felt fearful and tense as Jake stepped through the portal where his big rescue mission began.

Another fab instalment in the Forsaken Series! If you enjoy the fantasy genre and far-away lands through portals leading to mysterious dimensions, then this is your series!
