| Gracie has always been the one beside Jack in all his
misguided and misinformed choices in getting into dangerous
situations. A strange meteorite hit their small community
and the towns’ people started manifesting into creatures of
the night. To no surprise Jack took off to become one of the
undead. During the daylight and worried sick about Jack,
Gracie went hunting for him armed to the teeth with any
sharp object she could shove upon her person. She drags him
home after seeing him being attacked by one of the
creatures. It was just a matter off time before Gracie
becomes one of those creatures. But finally Gracie and Jack
are finally together and they are both part of the undead,
but Gracie is special, she is the cure for their current
ailment. In dark alleys and small gatherings Gracie’s name
seemed like a repetitive mantra on the creature’s mouth. A
creature, evil personified itself, keeps drawing Gracie to
its source and she is powerless to it’s gravitational pull.
Time runs out as all creatures come after Gracie for the
cure, but their biggest battle is with the ultimate evil,
the master who wants Gracie for his survival. Her budding
love with Jack is sorely tested as their conditions bring
with it responsibilities and alliances to other creatures to
defeat the immediate threat upon their lives. The
Vampire’s Surge seemed like something out of a sci-fi
movie. The happenings in the town, the atmosphere, the utter
baffling conditions, the manifestations were all seen
through the eyes of Gracie. The story was well planned with
an intricate plot, at the end all the questions were
answered. Gracie was the dominant alpha female while Jack
seemed to be the bystander within the story. There were
however some flip-flopping and indecisive moments when it
came to Gracie. One moment she hates the manifestations of
what was happening around her but the next moment she is
embracing what she was becoming and loving it. The
Vampire’s Surge has a
good storyline and I appreciated the in-depth research of
the paranormals done by the author. |
