When Paul Isaac, vampire executioner, is confronted by the master vampire of the city and poisoned with a virus that will not only kill him, but cause him to rise as one of the undead, he must decide whether to do the bidding of the powerful vampire to save his own life, or stop the sadistic killer that threatens to leave the city with more unfortunate victims. Packed with crucifixes, stakes, and a Magnum filled with ultra-violet bullets, Paul uncovers a sinister club that caters to the dark side of pleasure and pain that might not only be the key to his survival, but also push him closer to the killer's identity. In order to stay alive, he must learn to face his inner darkness and trust in things that just might be less monstrous than himself.

This review is from: Tortured Skin (Paperback)
Tortured Skin has some very interesting ideas. Vampires have become members of civilized society, almost looked at as rare relic, and protected by both human and vampire law. Paul Isaac is a Vampire Hunter who is not really liked by vampires OR humans. He has issues. Well, anybody would have issues if one's parents had been killed by vampires and you were too young to do anything about it but run.
Now he is forced into a corner, forced to work for the vampires, like it or not. Blazing guns, sex, mystery, vampires, shape shifters, good guys, bad guys, some human, some not, this book is non-stop action from the first page to the last. That is the only flaw - sometimes the reader needs a break to relax, absorb the information and get ready for the next chapter of gore, teeth and claws. Get it used or new.

A society where humans and vampires openly co-exist,
By Amy D. (Orlando) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tortured Skin (Paperback)
This book instantly draws you into a fantastic world of vampires and werewolves. The author masterfully creates a world in which humans and supernatural creatures co-exist in a legally regulated environment. (You can see this as a metaphor for the legalization of any controversial topic, but that's me extrapolating.)
As with any well-developed character, vampire-hunter Paul Isaac frequently blurs the lines between right and wrong, which is easy to do in this type of society. Isaac is a fascinating character you want to root for, a tough "cop" who trusts very few people. He is surrounded by a rich cast of characters, some of whom are vampires, werewolves, humans, or a combination. As he knows, you can't always tell who's who. The author gives Isaac a fine sense of humor, which provides little breaks in the intense action. It's also interesting to see Isaac's investigatory instincts at work. This is mainly a story about vampires, so it accepts some of the time-worn vampire lore--they are repelled by holy water and crucifixes--and adds some nuances that make it a unique vampire world--a vampire can enter your home without having previously being invited in. The promotional summary on the back of the book promises that the vampire's world is one of pain and pleasure, so be prepared for some gore and kinky activities. The title, Tortured Skin, is a great expression for what it must be like to be a vampire or other morphing creature and has a deeper meaning in the book. All in all, this is a great book. If you like the supernatural or horror genres, or even standard detective stories, you will enjoy it.
