Book Description

Craig Lockman...

No one had called him that in fifteen years.

Not since his days at the Agency. Not since he was trained to kill creatures that were supposed to exist only in nightmares.

Yet the teenage girl on his doorstep not only knows his real name, she claims she's his daughter.

Before Lockman can learn how the girl found him, he's attacked by a black-ops team of assassins. But these aren't ordinary killers—they're heavily armed vampires sent by his most hated enemy.

Forced on the run, Lockman protects his daughter from an onslaught of horrors while searching for who betrayed him and why. The investigation leads him to Detroit, where he unwittingly sets a plan into motion that could trigger a paranormal apocalypse and cost him his soul.

Darker Things is a wonderful read, well written and planned out. The storyline is gripping and exciting, and the characters were believable and honest without being too dramatic or false. Can't wait to read more in the series!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad supernatural thriller February 13, 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fairly good rainy afternoon diversion if you like the genre. Nothing heavy but if you enjoy television programs in such as Grimm and Being Human, you'll probably enjoy this for what it is. The relationship between the protagonist and the teenage daughter he has only recently learned he fathered is a welcome twist to the usual hard boiled, I've seen things that would drive most men and women nuts, worldview of the emotionally gaunt anti-heroes who typically inhabit similar fictional worlds. I would have liked more back story concerning both the mysterious agency that formerly employed the main character.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun read February 3, 2013

This was a quick fun read. I wish it would have been scarier and it got a little convoluted toward the end. The teenage perspective at life and death moments was annoying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad story
This is a terrible story. It doesn't make much sense and it's extremely violent for no reason. The characters' motivation is not well explained and the writing isn't great.

He has traveled full circle, now living in rural southeast Michigan with his wife, two kids, and dog, Kinsey--named after Sue Grafton's famous detective. In between moving and writing, he's worked all manner of odd jobs, including lead singer for an acoustic cover band and a three-day stint as assistant to a movie producer after which he quit because the producer was a nut job.
