Chiaroscuro: The Mouse and the Candle by Matthew S. CoxMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Degrees Of Evil
This is a stand alone novel as far as I can tell. I don't see how there could possibly be a sequel!
Antonio is a priest in the Order. He is charged by Rome to stamp out Evil wherever it is found. Any supernatural force plaguing humanity is rooted out and destroyed by the Order. After an Exorcism takes a strange turn two priests approach Father Antonio to help them deal with a strange Vampire. Finding an innocent seeming child who is afflicted with Vampirism and yet unhurt by Holy Water or Crucifixes is truly a conundrum. All he knows is that he must protect the child at all costs. That is what God wants or he wouldn't be there! Can he convince the other priests to release Sabine into his care? Or will their zealotry make them turn on him for trying to protect the girl? Can he win her free? Or will he be forced to witness an atrocity he will never recover from?
***This book is suitable for mature young adult through adult readers who enjoy a little whimsy in their supernatural horror fantasy with plenty of suspense, action, adventure and mystery :)
