What is he supposed to do when he's transformed into a murderous creature of the night?Something is inside Sam driving him to kill. He doesn't understand it, and can't stop it from welling up into an inescapable force of wrath. It craves death itself. Should Sam run? Should he give up his loving family to protect them from the beast? Or, could he control the entity that waits behind his eyes? How can he stay hidden on the outer fringe of society when he's always pulling people into the shadows to die?After Sam's life has been changed forever, a chance encounter introduces him to others who know of the world's true darkness.

What will Sam do when he discovers his true nature? What will the hunters do? What would you do?
Im not a big reader but I gave this one a shot after my brother told me about it. I think this was the fastest I ever read a book all the way through. I loved the characters and the story. It was new and different than the stuff out there in movies and stuff now a days. I hope there is another one very soon.
One of my favorites for sure. This was a totally fresh perspective for me. Now I have to hope I can find something to tide me over until the next one... Hopefully there will be one
