A Passing Curse by C.R. TrolsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Passing Curse by C. R. Trolson is another fine example of astute writing by this author. An interesting mix of vampire, thriller and mystery, Trolson does a fine job of masterfully guiding the reader on a journey that involves a serial killer, archeology, and maybe even vampires. This story takes place in several locales as we follow detective Reese in his quest to solve the serial killer mystery, and the Transylvania area, where Rusty the archeologist is looking into finding Vlad Tepes (aka Dracula) for her latest employer. There are plenty of over the top graphic scenes whereby the victims' injuries are horrifyingly described, along with some violent fight scenes and some sexual undertones. These things don't detract from the story, but rather add to the sense of tension and peril. Trolson writes well, finely tuning his characters so you get to know them through their actions, and creates scenes that are memorable while meshing together disparate genres. This story is a different take on the vampire angle, and is highly enjoyable.
