The Vampire Hunters Stalked
Despite the destruction of Shade, Gunstock remains in mourning and turmoil. The Gunn boys are jailed and Garrett Brashear resides in the mental ward, but strange deaths and disappearances still plague the Texas town. In the ruins of the vampire's lair, the teens discover a hideous idol, more bodies and a murderer. Everyone believes cultists are to blame, but Scooter, Flash, Kristie and Russell know the truth behind the horrific events. When lightning strikes, the vampire hunters are transformed, gaining blessings and curses. They will need their experience and new perceptions as they battle darkness and its servants. Defeat means doing the bidding of a vampire and living a lie. Using suspicions and fear, the Cult of theVampire slowly destroys the town from within, turning friends against neighbors and setting families to fighting. Darkness Stalks The Vampire Hunters.

If you can suspend your desire for a well written, grammer and spelling checked work of writing, the story itself isn't half bad.
Flash is the best character, even though he's put through too much.
The story jumps around and doesn't have a cohesive flow, BUT I still really wanted to know what was going to happen next to all the kids, not the worst I've ever read, and was able to finish.

I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway. It is a sequel to the Vampire Hunters series. Just when you think they had solved the vampire problem, another vampire or vampires are back in town. They affect the whole community and infect them too. The people are infected with something you will not guess. Recommendation for all vampire fans.

Somehow worse than the original. And, unfortunately, even longer. At times, incomprehensible.

Review originally written for and posted at YA Books Central
For what they did to Lucius Shade, Gunstock must suffer
Its been a month since Scooter Keyshawn and his friends Russell and Kristie defeated Lucius Shade. But when the trio is forced to seek shelter in the vampire's old hideout during a Texas storm, the friends are just beginning their new adventures. Struck by lightning while trying to head for safety, Scooter and his friends have noticed strange powers appearing in their lives. Scooter has an instinctive connection with his dog, Flash. Russell can mysteriously manipulate electricity. And Kristie has developed a healing touch--literally.
Just when the Vampire Hunters (as the town has dubbed them) are getting used to their powers, strange occurrences once more plague Gunstock. Who is the mysterious man posing as Scooters writing mentor? What is the sinister force behind the Gibbering Darkness idols? What is the deadly Curse of Thirteen? And most importantly, who is behind it all? After all, the vampire is dead--isnt he?
The Vampire Hunters Stalked is a noteworthy return to the setting of Gunstock, Texas for fans of the first book. Plenty of details are given about Scooter and his developing friendships, including a few closer moments with love-interest Kristie. The book does suffer from a large amount of dialoge, and those who have not read the first book will most likely be confused. The plot drags in the middle, and occasionally wanders off on random tangents, but the action for the most part still develops with enough intensity to keep a thread of suspense throughout the whole book.
*Please note: This is a small press/self-published/POD book. I tend to be more gentle in my reviews of these types of books. If you are a reader who is greatly bothered by the types of flaw commonly found in self-published books (grammer/usage errors, flawed character development, meandering plots, etc.) read this book with caution.

This book is in serious need of an editor!
It’s rare that I am unable to finish a book but this one has been painful to read. At first I thought it just needed further editing but unfortunately it’s the story that doesn’t hold together.
I can’t even figure out what age group the book is aimed at. Having read the first book in the series I thought it was written for about age ten but in this (book two) there’s a section where C. J. meets female vampire Tia. Once she removes her clothing he gets all sweaty waiting for her to touch him. Even though the writing seems like it’s for grade five this content is geared for kids over age twelve.
Disregarding the question of grade level the book is just too poorly written for me to finish.

I'm not one to judge how well people write books, I just like to enjoy the story. However, I can not say that about this book. It is horribly written and hard to follow. The author hardly uses descriptions; the book is written mostly in dialog. When he tries to describe things, he constantly refers to movies to describe the scene. If you haven't seen the movie he used, you're not going to know what is going on.
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
