Hera's Scream (American Noir Trilogy, #2)

by Shaun Griffin

You reap what you sow—the old proverb will prove no less true for Anastasiya, self-styled vampire Goddess. She allowed Faith, the young woman turned vampire, to live. But as Faith’s powers continue to evolve Anastasiya must decide—is the girl a potential ally or a rival to her position of power?

As Anastasiya contemplates her next move she is unaware of a deadlier threat. Goran, professional assassin and brother to Dragan, the man she killed, is out for revenge. His hunt will lead him to Anastasiya and her acolytes. Will they survive the deadly retribution he has planned?

Throw into the mix a corrupt biologist on the trail of the alien vampire virus, two FBI agents moonlighting as guns for hire, a cop investigating the suspicious death of his friend, and you have the ingredients for an explosive showdown.

Series Second Sets Up Spectacular Climax. Seriously, this book does its job as the second book in a trilogy really quite well, resolving many of the lingering threads from Book 1 while furthering certain other threads and setting up what should truly be one *epic* climax in Book 3. Here, Griffin manages to tie up a lot of the loose ends from Book 1, maybe by stepping away from the hard boiled noir a touch and leaning a touch more into the more scifi/ action elements, but while remaining true to the world created in Book 1.  

 

And then that ending.

 

DAYUM even I wish I already had Book 3 in my hands, and I'm pretty sure that as I write this review on December 6, 2024, Griffin is still *writing* said book. :)

 

Truly one of the better trilogies to come out in 2024-2025, and very much recommended.
