Review: Not as menacing as the cover suggests - but fun

"Ancient Revelations" is the third book in a series by Matthew Bryan Laube.  In book three, we pick up our main characters shortly after the events of book two.  The story is on par with what you'd expect after reading the first two books.  Laube combines an interesting plot arc with his (intentionally) quirky and very flawed characters and his off beat sense of humor.This book is going to be enjoyed by anyone who reads modern horror, or anyone caught up in the current zombie / vampire craze.My only dissapointnt with this book (and the series) is Laube's effort to include ALL of the current pop culture horror references in this one series.  He has a great base story - with demons awakening every few hundred years and with them, a demon hunter who must track them down before he can rest again.  Honestly, it's a very cool plot and the demon hunter (Miller - or the ancient one) is a great character.  I dont understand why Laube feels the need to include (alongside the aforementioned demons) vampires, warewolves, zombies, etc. - all in this one series.  It's just a little over the top.Regardless, I take the book for what it is.  It's a fun horror / comedy series with likeable characters, a quick pacing, and easy readability.  I give it three and three quarter stars.
