Dead Awake

by Alex Gates

The immortal Guardian of the Horseman of Death will face his biggest threat yet… the undead.

Dorian Miller, a private detective specializing in the supernatural, investigates a blackmail conspiracy involving the daughter of one of Sacramento’s elite families who partook in a satanic ritual.

But the simple assignment soon turns un-deadly.

Zombies and golems rise around the city. The corpses of vampires are found slaughtered in a horrific manner. And rumors warn that a Revenant—the spirit of a dead Necromancer summoned back to this world—stands behind all the mayhem.

How much longer can Dorian run from Death before it catches up to him?

If you enjoy urban fantasy novels that feature snarky male protagonists, snappy dialogue, and a touch of gritty noir, then you’ll love this supernatural page-turner with a twist of mystery and suspense.

Good UF!

Different premise than I've seen before in UF. Nice to have a male, mature MC. Well written! I hope it's a series, I'll read the next.
