For thousands of years they have been the legend of terror and the whisper in the night that something evil exists. Their legacy has been around through the ages and many have speculated the start of their kind. One thing will always ring true - humanity has always feared them. They are the undead or vampires.The Bishop family has hunted them through the ages. They, along with a few others, are the few brave who vowed to rid the world of the vampire hold. Young Jake Bishop learns about his family's past and the quest his father is on to save his family.Although, I have read many vampire stories, I have a special place for this one. I truly loved how Mr. Palmer created a vampire to be feared but also have a connection to the remnant of its humanity. This story is beautifully woven and pulls you right into Jacob's dilemmas. I also felt a sympathy for Mr. Palmer's vampire, as he created one so terrifying and yet so refined that you find yourself being pulled into its dark world having better understood its origins and the way he was created. I truly enjoyed reading this tale. Mr. Palmer did an excellent job capturing family history, turmoil, and the bonds that make a family strong. He also drew a new picture of the vampire for me. One that is truly scary and respected. Thank you Mr. Palmer, I look forward to the sequel.
