Summary

God’s will be done.

After 11 years as a priest living by these words, Father Antonio Molinari never imagined who would teach his strongest lesson of faith - vampire.

As a member of a secret order within the Vatican, he investigates and debunks supernatural events. A case of possession brings him to the French countryside, where two local clergy offer him the chance of a lifetime. They claim to have captured a vampire, and beg his expertise in helping them study the fiend.

When their monster turns out to be a little girl, cursed to spend eternity hiding from the sun, he cannot bring himself to destroy her. The priests, mistaking his compassion for diabolism, panic, and his efforts to protect an innocent child prove fatal.

He awakes caught between light and darkness.

Hunted by the Church he once served as well as the fiends he once destroyed, Father Molinari clings to his faith there is still room for him in God’s plan.

But God is quiet, and the darkness tempting.

Unique unlike modern day vampire fiction

Over many years I have read a lot of vampire fiction. I grew up reading the Anne Rice chronicles and in later years the twilight series. When twilight became so commercialised I think that vampire fiction lost direction. Every book I read afterwards was over romancisised and aimed completely towards the teen girl market. I love this book because it has rediversified and is again more reminicient to the classics. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the novel covers such a large lifespan . I was completely immersed and loved the feel of the book and the emotions behind it . I was given this book by the author/narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review
