A new take on vampires set in a 1500s Christianity environment. Very dark, very grim with sparks of humor and love and revenge. The main character Gabriel is a likeable but unlike able character. But as you read through the book you start to understand more and more of why he is how he is. There is multiple timelines which took a bit to get into but as Gabriel would say "Patience". You will be rewarded.
