About this ebook
The boy was unremarkable. No reason anyone would have thought twice about him. Not unless they looked closer. Then one might see something was different. Something was wrong.
Detective Kurt Dale wants out of a torrid affair. There’s a killer on the loose and he has become the prime suspect. A two-hundred year old vampire has risen and a centuries old unconscionable evil is about to be revenged.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Risen took me completely by surprise. I was not entirely sure what to expect, as the cover suggested some kind of supernatural romance (at least to me), but the summary sells supernatural thriller. Fortunately, the summary had it right.Risen was a great thriller with a very unusual kind of vampire who has risen after centuries to avenge his family by killing their murderers' descendants. But somehow he is out of luck and instead of triumphantly acting out his revenge he starts to fall apart - quite literally. The story focuses on two police officers and their wives, who are the main targets of the vampire's attacks, which seems only a minor problem added to their already complicated lives.The story is filled with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, and while the mean little twist at the end is foreseeable, it's fascinating to observe how it finally plays out. Fluent writing, well-drawn characters and an original plot make Risen an extraordinary debut novel. While the ending closes the case just fine, it offers the possibility for a sequel, which hopefully follows soon. Highly recommended.
