"In 1793, Samuel Harrington chronicles his slow descent into hell, when he follows an intriguing new acquaintance, Henri Forain, into the depths of debauchery. Realizing too late the true nature of his mentor, Harrington sacrifices everything to be like him. His final despicable act seals his dark destiny.
Edmund Harrington discovers his father’s terrible secret and fills his journal with an account he himself cannot believe; his family is in mortal danger. He must avenge the death of his sister and destroy the monster and his master before it is too late. But things do not go as planned.
Edmund’s daughter, Charlotte, is left to finish the task started by her father twenty-eight year earlier, but will she have the courage to face her grandfather’s demon and do what she must?
Ms. Stewart’s wonderful use of journal entries to tell a story, like Bram Stoker before her, kept this reader engrossed. I read this in one sitting. The unexpected twists and turns in the story make it a real page turner and a joy to read. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a rousing good vampire story…and even those who do not. It will not disappoint."
