I went into this book completely blind. I hadn't read any reviews nor any of the summaries.In hindsight, I feel this is the absolute best way to approach this book.I won't give away any details but my experience follows:I wasn't aware that this book had three "parts". It could have easily been released as a three book series, but I am glad it wasn't. I was trucking along on part one, enjoying the story, when all of the sudden a curve ball was thrown my way. I was caught completely off guard by the ending of part one. It was definitely a game changer.After complaining to my wife that I had fell victim to the switcharoo, I decided I was in too deep to turn around and decided to continue. I am very glad I did.In the end, I have to say that this is the first book that I have read in this genre, but after enjoying it so much, it may not be the last. Immediately after finishing this book I purchased another book from Scott Shepherd. I am hoping it is as enjoyable as Descending Son. I listened to this one on audio and it was a pretty good tale from Scott Sheperd. The characters seemed to be fleshed out well and the story had an steady pace, even though I got confused a little a few times with the plotting. *Spoilers*An ancient evil has been trapped in the jungle of Mexico until it is unknowingly unleashed by an American film crew in the area. Now it is out free and the bodies are starting to pile up. Jess will need to sort out his family dysfunction and betrayals and try and figure out who killed his father all at the same time, if he has any hope of saving himself and the townsfolk of Palm Springs. I liked it. I liked the concept of the folklore behind the story and the narration was very good. 3+ Stars
Do You like book Descending Son (2014)?
I didn't know a novel about vampires could be so boring.
