first Christian vampire book I have ever read. Was OK. Needs some editing some because there were run on sentences and times where you didn't know who was talking.

“Cross”, T.S. Worley’s debut novel in the paranormal and urban fantasy realm, delivers. It is a fresh, outrageous look at vampires and werewolves. “Cross” is the starting point of what is sure to be an exciting new series. This was a quick read for me. It flowed easily and I found myself completely immersed in the storyline. It is steeped in religion & lore and provides a complete history into the origins of vampires and werewolves. The story is a first person narrative provided by protagonist David Cross. David, on the cusp of turning thirty, is a loner with a guarded heart. He is out hiking when a tragic accident changes the course of his life. David awakens and is thrust into a reality he didn’t know existed. After two thousand years, the vampire population has dwindled to a small group of women. During this time, the werewolves have prospered and increased their numbers while systematically taking out the female vampires. To the vampires, David is their salvation. To the werewolves, David means the end of mankind and he must be destroyed. I liked David. He is confident, even tempered, yet vulnerable, and willing to listen. He seeks the advice of others and is not easily led. Other characters such as Mouge, made the story compelling and believable.
I experienced a wide range of emotions while reading this book and look forward to discussing it. I look forward to seeing this series unfold.
A special thank you to the author for this advanced reading copy, in exchange for my unbiased review.
