The Blood of the Covenant: A Novel of the Vampiric

Once again, Monahan scores with this dark and wonderful novel. It picks up where the first left off, taking the reader on an action-filled ride to the finish. If you want to escape the dreadful, angsty clutches of Anne Rice and similar authors, pick these books up! To understand this book, you'd first have to read The Book of Common Dread, and if that one doesn't get you to love it, then keep to your stereotypical vampire stories. I'm hoping they'll make movies out of these two books! That would make for some entertaining cinema. ^^

I agree with the other reviewers. This is every bit as good as its predecessor, The Book of Common Dread. That's rare for a sequel. A truly original take on the vampire tradition. The pace is excellent. Several nice twists don't hurt either. I'd love to see this become a movie.

This was an amazing and gripping story. it caught me up in it right from the start.

This novel was extremely excellent. It is one of the most amazing vampire stories ever written. The dark humor and blazing real-ness make this book a very entertaining piece of art! It stimulates the senses with lust and death and extreme erotic evilness. The story is one of the battle between the dark and the light, the good and evil, and the human race and the vampire race that hopes to take over the world with it's blood hungry kind. I highly recommend this novel to ANY one who enjoys a great horror story!

The follow-up to "The Book Of Common Dread" is even better than the original. Taking over where the first book left off, it follows Simon Penn and Frederika Vanderveen on their quest to unravel the mystery of the Scrolls of Ahriman. We are propelled from Princeton University to Europe in their search for a scholar willing to translate the scrolls that prove that vampires exist. Can they accomplish this in time or will the dark angels close in for the kill ? Well, you'll just have to buy the book and find out !!!! You won't be disappointed.
