Secrets Never Stay SilentIn the early seventies, six children disappeared from North Carolina. Psychopath, Elvin Hayes was convicted and executed for the presumed murders. He went to his grave with the secrets of what happened to the children dubbed The Silent Six. Thirty years later, the six are no longer silent. A curse has been summoned. The children have come home to play a demonic game called The Mayhem. Detective Kim Strode must find out who conjured The Mayhem before it destroys everyone connected to the case. There’s one major problem. Kim is connected. Her father sent Elvin Hayes to the electric chair. THE MAYHEM CHILDREN, a terrifying tale of witchcraft, demons, and revenge, is an ode to classic eighties horror.

The Night Calls (A Project Specter Mystery #2)

Intruders: Deception (Intruders #3)

Paul Seiple is a bit of a genre hopper. It’s not a problem yet, he still shies away from romance. But if he can find the right idea for a demonic love story all bets are off. He mainly writes horror, post-apocalyptic, and crime fiction stories.

Outside of creating dark worlds, Paul is influenced by Crystal Pepsi, New Coke, Van Halen III (The Gary Cherone Minute), and Windows Vista. He believes Paul Stanley’s ’78 solo record was the best and misses Saved by the Bell: The College Years tremendously. Paul would like for you to be in his Myspace Top 8, but sadly, he can’t remember his password. But all is not lost.

An interesting plotline with a nice twist at the end. I actually wasn't expecting the twist. It was a great read and hard to put down. I really enjoyed the nod at classic horror movies. (I caught it right away).

This was a fun and exciting read! I was very surprised and happy that the author understood the difference between Satanism and devil worship, too many books, movies and tv shows (I'm looking at you Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) get it completely wrong. The only downside to me was the ending it was very anticlimactic. I was like "that's it?? Um. Ok". Still, I think it's definitely worth checking out and I'll definitely be getting book 2 as soon as it's out!

I normally don't go into demon books, this one held my interest. Good characters developed. I would have given four stars, but I'm not into demon books.

The Mayhem Children (A Project Specter Mystery Book 1)
By: Paul Seiple
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Mayhem Children (A Project Specter Mystery Book 1) by Paul Seiple is one of those books that had me reading far into the night in order to finish. It also had me on the edge of my seat and making sure I read with the light on. It is entertaining, chilling, and hard to put down. I loved reading about the character of Detective Kim Strode. She is a young woman who finds herself having to figure out who has conjured The Mayhem before more lives are lost. The case takes her back to the case of Elvin Hayes who was convicted and executed as the presumed murderer of The Silent Six. Kim is connected as her father sent Hayes to the electric chair. Will Kim find out who conjured The Mayhem? Read this book to find out. This story has quite a few additional characters that are introduced and I enjoyed reading about many of them and their interactions with Kim. Kim is a character that is strong, independent, intelligent, and stubborn. I grew to care about what happened to her with each chapter the I read. I have always loved thrillers/horror books and this story is a good example of why. I would highly recommend reading it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019

I'm a long time reader of horror and always on the look out for new authors since I've long ago exhausted (and grown tired of) of many of the more recognized names. Set in North Carolina, the story evolves around detective partners Kim Strode and Terrence Simms. Many years earlier, Kim's father was responsible for the arrest, conviction, and execution of the killer of the "silent six". After an atrocious mass murder, they now need to determine if the killer is back for revenge.

I truly enjoyed this book and blazed through it in less than a day and am looking forward to the next installment.

I tend to like werewolves, vampires, necromancers, etc but this was a real twist. To me well written, some genteric parts as expected, but it did have a real twist i didnt see. Wasn't super scary like i was looking forx but had a creep factor. Had a slight Heather Graham feel which i didn't hate. I would definitely read another.

This was my first novel by Paul Seiple, but definitely not my last! He is a superb storyteller with amazing characters and a twisted plot. The only drawback, and the reason it lost a start, is because of the editing. The editing could have been better.

A very good read, would give this a full 5 stars but for quite a lot of grammatical and punctuation errors there was 1 continuity error that could be easily fixed with better proof reading. Saying that it did not distract too much from the read, will definitely read more from this author.

Was recommended by another horror author so I took a chance- It was a good read, I wouldn't say great, but a decent horror story.

I did enjoy it and will keep an eye out for the next in the series (if there is going to be one).
