The Vampire Hunter
The Helsing bloodline didn’t end with Van Helsing.
Dave Holden just doesn’t know it yet. But the vampires do.
Dave thought his job was simple—screen applicants, spot anomalies, and move on. Instead, he discovered something impossible.
He was identifying vampires.
That discovery almost got him killed.
Now someone inside Tyrell Industries is hunting vampires, and Dave is trapped in the middle of a dangerous game. He has no idea who to trust—especially when the line between hunter and monster keeps shifting.
And the stakes just got personal.
If Dave can’t uncover the truth behind his grandmother’s mysterious diaries, the woman he loves, Mari, could become the next victim. Those diaries may hold the secret to Dave’s real bloodline—and the power that comes with it.
But vampires are only the beginning.
Strange creatures are emerging from the shadows. Gnomes, elves, and beings so ancient their names have been forgotten. Something once driven underground is waking up, and someone intends to wipe them all out for good.
The key to stopping it all may be Dave Holden—the nice guy next door who is anything but ordinary.
Fans of Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files, Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London, and Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House will love this fast-paced urban fantasy adventure.

About the author
Martha Carr
572 books774 followersOkay, I'm a late bloomer who's a big DC comics fan and spent my childhood summers on the Jersey shore but I was born under a wandering star and have lived in different parts of America ever since. That's enough about me. Need to feel inspired today? Looking for something to make you root for an ordinary hero? I'm all about that in everything I write.
I love a good tale that makes me wonder about things and I love a story even more that leaves me feeling inspired or like I'm capable of doing more than I realized. That's my goal with everything I've ever written. Some of the stories I tell involve twisting, turning thrillers and others have a lot of magic.
There's something to be said for getting lost in another world and coming out the other side feeling a little better about yourself or the possibilities in front of you. That's basically the best part of life in a nutshell, no matter what kind of story I'm setting out to tell.
Thank you for checking out my stories!

I don't know what the other reviewers were thinking....
Actually, I think I do know--I heard through a website that initially the wrong file got uploaded to Amazon (so people weren't getting the final book file). If that was the reason, I get it. Sort of.
But whatever their reason, it has to be 5 star from me. Great pacing, fun characters--a truly novel concept I've never read before--I really, really liked it.
I liked the burgeoning romance between Mari and Dave. I liked the building coalition. I liked the ending! (No spoilers here).
I am excited to see where book 2 goes. If you are a fan of urban fantasy or vampire books, add this one to your must read list!

Another compelling page turner from Martha & Michael from beginning to end. I hope the next in the series is not far away.
