Rival Blood
Who is Cooper M. Reid?
As a former Special Agent within a shadow branch of the government, Cooper M. Reid’s work took him to some odd places…researching time vortexes in Kansas, demons in Norway, and UFOs in Jerusalem. The work only got weirder when he decided to go rogue and start investigating for himself.
So it came as no real surprise when he disappeared one year ago.
Now that he has re-appeared, Cooper has no recollection of what happened to him. All he knows is that he is now driven to help those that are being tormented by the paranormal, and that he needs to stay hidden from the people he once worked for.
In RIVAL BLOOD, Cooper learns that members of an inner-city gang are dying off in gruesome and mysterious ways. He believes it’s the work of a mythological creature that he always believed to be nothing more than fiction. As he investigates deeper he finds himself not only in the middle of a potential gang war, but also hunted by a seemingly unstoppable monster.

3.5 I've really enjoyed the first two books in this series. I really like the character of Cooper Reid and the mythological and supernatural plot lines are really interesting! These books are fast paced and I find that I can read them within a day or two, which I appreciate. I will definitely be checking out the 3rd book in the series.

The series continues to deliver. More dark and gritty than book 1, Rival Blood is more paranormal discovery and a little dash of reveal of the over-arching narrative. If you liked book 1, book 2 is worth reading.
