There have
been random killings spreading the country. Perhaps it would benefit from the
aid of an undead vigilante.
Nicky Negron
is back wandering the streets of New York with his crass and delinquent nature,
but now he must deal with his tortured soul.
“Any remaining traces of my humanity
were to forever be shrouded by the sickening truth that I needed to feed on
human blood to survive.” (17)
The character is ridden with angst and
disillusion, especially when his mind becomes haunted by the memories of
another demon. Was he being possessed? Was he doomed to become a soulless
predator like the host?
In his quest, he is plagued by his
childhood past and shackled by the insatiable hunger running through his veins.
What’s even worse was all the suspicious death surrounding him.
Once again, the author gives us an
unconventionally dark tale of torment and triumph. Nicky is a complex character
with a spear for justice, a sharp tongue, and a tortured soul. At times, the
story becomes disorganized by various plot lines and random characters. It
almost felt like too much was happening at once, which was slightly
overwhelming and caused a patchy flow. Story definitely carves a new niche to
the horror genre with its savory additives of mystery, suspense, and emotion.
My rating: 3.5 stars
