"A new take on a coming-of-age book and not your typical vampire book these days. This book is geared more toward the horror side of vampires, instead of the romanticized version we read so much of these days. The author does a great job building up the history and it's intriguing, creepy and suspenseful at the same time. This book is the first I've read from this author, and I'm quite happy I did. I finished this book in one day, because it truly grabs a hold of the reader and is well researched and written. I would definitely pick up more titles from this author and is a perfect creepy addition to your October reads." Uncaged Book Reviews
Based on ancient Mayan mythology comes a story of bloodlust, love, and the horrors of coming of age.
In ancient Central America, the legend of the Camazotz: large, bat-like creatures that desire blood and terrorize the villages in search of prey. When the volcano, Masaya, erupts and kills the tribe from which the Camazotz are from, they discover a miracle ash in the ruins.
Years later, in present-day eastern Idaho, 17-year-old Emilio Chavez lives in an isolated area near the lava rock cliffs of the American Falls reservoir. From birth, he has been different. After Emilio's friend Clara falls victim to a terrible accident, suspicions about Emilio arise, and he discovers an astonishing secret about his past.
As a sinister force tightens its grip on Clara, can Milo save her from those searching for blood while keeping his own internal demons at bay?
"One of the best books that I have read. I can't turn the pages fast enough to find out what happens next. Brenda nailed it with this one!" Amazon Review
"I have read ALL of Brenda Stanley's books and this was by far my favorite. I loved the whole historical aspect she tied in with the Mayan legend and the setting of the lava caves in Idaho. She depicted such a colorful picture of these caves in my mind, I'm determined to go and see them myself. Wonderful story... I'm ready to read it again!" Amazon Review
