Vampires come in two flavours now and neither of them sparkle. Dustin Palmer has created a fresh vampire tale in a world full of ubiquitous stories of the Nosferatu kind. What he has managed to do here is create an action packed, emotion filled story that grabs the reader from the first page and holds them until the very last word.
John Bishop is a man who deeply loves his wife and son and is trying to get along living his life on a day to day basis. He wants to leave his past behind; a past that involved hunting down and slaughtering vampires. The money was great, but the hazards were costly. And the the inevitable happens; his wife is kidnapped and John sets out on a quest to find her, leaving his son Jake with his father. Jake then discovers who he really is, where he comes from and learns that monsters really do exist. Sometimes they look like family members.
I enjoyed this book so much I ended up reading this in one sitting. Could not put this down. Devoured it and wanted more.....looking for the sequel......
Excellent Read

Morality and lots of blood
Not just a story about vampires but a look at the truth of the moral that he who fights monsters should endeavor not to become one.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
This is a book about vampires, but the author took a different track writing it. This book/story is more concerned about the people killing the vampires than the vampires themselves. The characters are well written and defined, their pain and actions are well documented, the resolutions to the situations they are placed in is believable, and the little plot twists fit into the general story without fault

Gritty vampire tale in the vein (pun intended) of John Carpenter's Vampires. Good action and suspense w/ much to be revealed in future sequels.
