Reviewed By: Crystal Trent Dotson
Dr. Mark Coresu was a priest in the 1600's before being turned into a vampire. Now four centuries later he is a successful Dr. , but when darkness falls he begins his "Judging" of those who have sinned and done evil. He believes by making them repent then killing them , he is serving God. He has done this for so long he believes it's right and does not question his actions.
He then meets Hope Brannen , who he now thinks God has sent to him to be his mate. Hope falls for him , but knowing his "Judging" isn't right she turns to Anthony Agricola, to help Mark uncover his past. But will the two of them be able to save his soul or will he be lost forever.
I have read alot of Vampire books and alot of them have the same storyline to them, but I haven't read anything quite like this before. I love the way that vampirism and christianity are put together with a bold , yet twisted plot. This brings a whole new meaning to Good v/s Evil. The characters are brilliant and exciting.
I know I will soon be reading Damascus Road- The Corescu Chronicles Book Two !
Five Stars and Two Thumbs up !
