In F.D. Davis’s dark novel, In the Beginning, Adam Omega propels this thrilling tale of creatures-of-the night. You have never met a man, excuse me, a vampire like Adam Omega. Reading this, Adam would say, ‘Yeah, lady, get it right. I am a vampire!’ Adam is different from Anne Rice’s Lastat and L.A. Banks’s Rivera.
The story opens in 1005 A.D. Adam is a priest and gives up his priesthood to marry the love of his life, Eyanna. The local townspeople believe her be a witch because of her ability to heal. Already alienated from his God yet not entirely from his faith, Adam volunteers to be turned into an immortal to save his wife from being burned at the stake. To his horror, events turn against him. What happens next sets the stage for the rest of Adam’s eternal life.
Davis brings the story into today and Adam still grieving over the lost of Eyanna. He believes that the mortal lady Eve that he meets in church (yes, in church), is Eyanna reincarnated.
Eve is also frighten of Adam, believes him to be evil. Her emotions swing between love and hate for the vampire. (Is hate a ramification of love? I wonder.) But that does not deter Adam from his quest to reclaim his wife through Eve. His confusion about Eyanna and Eve turns into a nightmare for Adam and Eve. She may well be Eyanna’s reincarnation. Eve’s quest to save Adam and strengthen her wavering belief in God aligns her with Eyanna. But will she lose her soul in this quadrilateral perplexity? It becomes a battle of wills and faith, Adam’s being the strongest and Eve coming very close behind.
I was totally involved with In the Beginning. The issues are clear: true love is forever, faith is shaken and best of all, even immortals have a soul, and a sense of right and wrong.
If you are willing to suspend your logic, you will enjoy this interesting tale of love. I look forward to more from Adam Omega.

Adam Omega is an interesting man. He is a vampire who believes in God. Eve, the reincarnation of his beloved Eyanna, was also an interesting character. I love the author's play on the characters' names Adam Omega and Eve, like Adam and Eve in the bible. Like Eve in the bible, this Eve made some unfortunated choices, that landed her on a collision course with evil--Adam. Although Adam would like to Eyanna back, Eve becomes the maintain target of his thoughts and lost love, if only they can get past all the stuff in the way. Like a few vampires that want Adam to be a distant memory.

I really liked this book! I'm not really into romance novels but when it has to do with vampires I'm all for it! I like how it kept you in suspense all the way to the end! (would Adam get his Eve, would he turn her into a vampire or would she destroy him if not heal him from his curse). A story of how powerful a vampires love can be for a mortal he cannot have and her willingness to heal him to save him from cursed life!

I didn't expect to like this book because it was about a vampire, but it was excellent. The author crafted Adam perfectly. I actually felt sympathy for a vampire. Adam is definitely not the usual heartless vampire that you read about or see in movies. This was an unconventional romance story that had my attention gripped. The ending was sort of a cliffhanger, so...I'm on to the next book in the series.

Surprisingly good read. I picked this up from Dollar Tree. It was only a dollar. I really did like it, I originally thought it was a romance novel, but there was very little sex in it. Just a lot of blood and vampire stuff.

Adam is the most amazing vampire. It was hard not to fall in love with him.
