Rating: 4 out of 5

I find myself captivated with supernatural mysteries and “A Passing Curse” was truly a great read. The main characters, Reese (a ‘retired’ LA homicide detective) and Rusty (a recognized archaeologist) come together to discover that the town’s millionaire Ajax may not be who he claims to be. From the first page I was drawn in by an air of mystery.Rusty has been hired by Ajax to dig up some old bones on his property bordering the cemetery of the mission house, but after a grueling ordeal oversees, she is very leery of the man and his motives.Reese moves in to the same apartment where the “Anaheim Vampire” lived to examine who may be behind the serial murders.  Having told everybody he is a retired cop, he is brought in by the police chief to help investigate the sudden onset of murders happening in the once quiet town.At first Rusty is unsure which man to believe, Reese or Ajax.  In the end, following her instinct, she falls for Reese and together they discover that Ajax is indeed a vampire.  They destroy his plan to concur the world with a toxin he was planning to slip into hospital blood supplies and they kill him, barely making it out alive.Throughout the book I found myself wondering what would happen next and had a hard time putting it down.
