Revelations Coming
by Glory Rabenaugh
Published 2013
Revelations Coming closely follows Christian history, but with a twist. It changes early accounts of famous religious events, and casts vampyres in all the lead roles. The author creates a world of good vampyres, the bloodline of Jesus; and evil vampires, the descendants of Cain. Both lines have two classes of vampyres: those born of the bloodline (known as the Mashiach), and those who drink of the bloodline (known as Talmidimthose). Venus is a combination of the two. And just for fun, angels are thrown into the mix, also of the good and evil varieties.
Venus is too attractive for her own good. Having been raised in the foster system, she has encountered every possible form of monster (of the non-paranormal variety), all before her 18th birthday. From years of abuse, she lacks hope and faith in humanity. Alas, she will play a key role in determining whether good or evil prevails on earth. And she hasn't a clue.
On her 18th birthday, Venus runs away from her foster home, and is approached by a very scary man who knows who she is. Fleeing from this man, she is picked up by a truck driver, who turns out to be a good samaritan. He takes her to his home, where she meets his kind and concerned family. Now in a safe home for the first time in her life, she decides to stay a while. Here, she meets the Archangel Michael, Riken (a descendant of Jesus), and Arias Hassan (a descendant of Cain). Finding herself drawn to each one of them, she is pulled in all directions. Three beautiful men are all wanting her attention, and she is attracted to all of them! Ultimately, she succumbs to the strongest pull of all. But this is where things get confusing!
Despite the sometimes confusing aspects of the story, it held my interest, and I read the book straight through! The end was disturbing, and a bit over the top. Also, I would have liked to see more attention to plot development, or perhaps to the book's editing. But I am eager to see what happens next, and will definitely read the next installment!

Revelations Coming begins with Venus at 18 years old, completely alone in the world, with nowhere to go. The worst part is that completely alone is preferable compared to the first 18 years she spent in horrible, abusive foster homes.
The story also starts out with an initial prologue introduction to this Vampire World that takes an interesting twist on Christianity. Venus finds herself quickly not alone anymore, but wanted by various factions of vampires. As her mind processes this whole new world she is in, she is torn between all the new men in her life. Good and evil battle again this time with her being the prize for the winner.
When Apollyon, a fallen angel, kidnaps and tortures her, she is finally turned. The choice between good and evil may be even more difficult for her now.
Glory Rabenaugh does a great job of introducing her world of Dark Truth novels in this first installment. With the unique twist in this storyline to the usual, it must have been difficult to find the words to explain it clearly but Rabenaugh managed it well with style and control.
I would certainly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in this genre. It is an unusual and interesting read. I can see this book leading into a great series that I will continue to follow. The only reason that I only gave it 4.5 is only because I felt the ending was a little abrupt. I just didn't get that “The End” feeling.
