Publisher's Summary:

"It's amazing how life goes back to normal, how the world keeps spinning, even after you do something so terrible that it can never be forgiven. You get up in the morning. You eat. You shower. Shave. Use the toilet. And the dream. Always the same dream. There is no escaping it. In my dream, I plunge the knife into a little girl's chest. - Sam Harlan

Six weeks since discovering the truth behind his family legacy, Sam Harlan has worked with Sister Callie Calahane to learn how to kill vampires, desperate to make them pay.

The woman's voice on the answering machine was intriguing. Jack, it's Mary Kate. I've got your newest order and.... I need to talk. Jack Harlan, the legendary vampire killer, was Sam's distant relative, but Jack Harlan was dead. Sam had seen to it himself.

Will investigating the source of the message push Sam and Sister Callie beyond their limit, or will they survive the hard times?

fair

i found it hard to get into the book and then realized it was the second.. read the first and then went back to this. the first was definitely better. it was just ok for me, I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Uncomplicated listen

Despite enjoying this book, it is not a book I feel I need to listen to again. It kind of reminds me of a Jack Reacher story. It's not big on character development, but, it had me (if not emotionally invested) intrigued to the end. I would like to listen to the first (this being the second) book in the series.

I enjoyed how the vampire hunter took on the characteristics of the vampire and the special capabilities of the 'nun'.

Although there is the occasional swearing, there are not any sex scenes or overly detailed violence. The plot was not too convoluted or mysterious and I expected the good guys to win but was not sure how. A little more detail on the motivations and history of the vampire and victim family members would have helped round out the story.

The narrator did an ok job. His character voices however, are limited in range and when the book mentioned a character spoke with a heavy accent, the narrator did not use an accented voice. I would listen to another book by this narrator.

Second book not as good as first

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. When I received this book and realized it was book number 2, I bought book 1. I didn't think this book 2 was as good as book 1. My husband was laughing at me when I was listening to this book and talking to Sam, telling him how stupid he was not to prepare properly to fight the vampires. The story seemed to drag on.
