While yes these could be lumped into the
vampire type story I would beg you not to do that. They are so much
deeper, so much more. There is some spirituality, or religion threaded
in them, but not in a preachy trying to convert you way, just as part of
the store, a thread if you will.
The story is this, some people go on a
trip, sick people, people with terminal cancer. And something happens to
them, they die in the jungle but there isn’t a trace of the cancer left
in any of them. There is some virus out there and so of course people
being what we are, someone has to investigate this, and the government
has to try and use it, and eventually weaponize it. This starts the
train of events that carry the story, which I believe is set to be a
trilogy. The original test subjects, death row inmates and the the
doctor who was investigating it and got infected are the monsters and
humanity has to find a way to survive. This is a bit of an over
simplification but I don’t want to spoil anyone. These were not romances
(yet there is some), there are no sparkly vampires, this a bloody
battle for life over creatures of an undead variety. It is the story of
courage and bravery of a small group of humans, it is moving and thought
provoking.
