Be
Not Afraid isn't your typical vampire book. The vampire character is
more Dracula than Edward. The story combines a Christian faith element
with a classic style vampire. The story starts with Lydia, a very
spiritual family woman, working late in a regular nine-to-five job. Just
as she's ready to call it a night, she's suddenly being stalked by a
strange man with no reflection.
The story goes quickly from there, Lydia is kidnapped by Vlad, the vampire, and turned into a vampire herself. Lydia struggles to maintain her faith in God while controlling her blood-lust, and desire to become a vampire.
Early in the story, and with the help of a priest, Lydia is able to overcome the curse and become cured. She goes home, desperate to forget her ordeal and move forward with her life and her family. However, her daughter Trudy, starts displaying odd behavior. A fascination with blood, mysterious mosquito bites on her neck, and a new boyfriend.
Also, Lydia's husband falls off the grid. And when Trudy brings her new boyfriend home, Lydia is horrified to be faced with none other than Vlad himself. Now Lydia has to figure out how to save her family from Vlad before anyone is killed.
You have to read it to see if Faith or Evil prevails, but I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

This
genre is not my usual reading material. I almost never read Christian
fiction or vampire books, however I will say this book is a well
written, on the edge of your seat kind of story, especially if you enjoy
this type of fiction.
I would definitely read more from this author.
I rate this book 4 stars
