His job for 200 years was to hunt rogue vampires. Simon did it well. His clan depended upon him and keeping things in balance suited Simon. Everything changed in 1639. That’s when he met Lina.

History with a fun blend of supernatural
Reviewed: 06-18-24
I had an absolute blast reading More Than a Vampire, it couples a really fun story with actual historical events that grounds it, and it's especially fun if you try to guess the historical figures before they are presented. The book is told with lots of energy and never lets up the entire time. Not to mention, both narrators absolutely nailed it. You know you have a good narrator when you forget about them and it's pure story.
Highly recommended!!

Story5 out of 5 stars 9
Why did they come? When they appeared across the sky, speculation wheeled around the world—the aliens were from heaven, the invaders were from hell… or they were proof that neither existed. But when they landed, curiosity gave way to suspicion and the nations reacted with nuclear force, setting off a chain reaction that left the world in ruins. Twenty years later, instead of nearing her retirement, Dr. Elspeth Darrow struggles to forget the loss of her child and husband by plunging herself into the work of operating the last remaining hospital in San Francisco.

Brilliant story and perfect narration
Reviewed: 03-10-24
I absolutely loved this great post-apocalyptic alien story that was different than your typical one. The main character, Dr. Elspeth, was inspiring and I loved the concept of simply helping even if it’s someone you’re not fond of. We could use more of that. It helped that the author is a medical doctor because Elspeth was extremely believable.
Kind of felt like a Blake Crouch book in all the best ways. Fascinating science and compelling narrative. Highly recommended!

"You have two days to pass your audition. You better pass it, feller. You’re joining the circus. Ain’t that the best news you ever got?" Delivered by a trio of psychotic clowns, this ultimatum plunges Jamie into the horrific alternate universe that is the centuries-old Pilo Family Circus, a borderline world between Hell and Earth from which humankind’s greatest tragedies have been perpetrated. Yet in this place - peopled by the gruesome, grotesque, and monstrous - where violence and savagery are the norm, Jamie finds that his worst enemy is himself.

Weird and creepy and just perfect
Reviewed: 10-28-19
This is such a good, underrated book. It’s creepy in the extreme and not remotely what you’re used to but worth it. This is the perfect time of year too!
