The build up was fantastic and the ending will have you downloading the second collection for answers.įans of dark, gritty, and addictive vampire horror stories will want to begin these if they haven’t already devoured them. This first collection shares the past and takes us up to the present. The series thread is addictive from the secrets to the dreams. Armando is the mysterious stranger who befriends them, but brings danger with him. Alisha’s emerges in her paintings and Vanora in her dreams. Alisha and Vanora both have their mother’s Celtic gift. Roman, the head of the family, tries to protect them all and does so. I loved The Last Bastion of the Living so when I was given a chance to jump back into Fraters post apocalyptic, zombie infested world, I was 100 on board.
#The last bastion of the living by rhiannon frater how to#
Frater knows how to hook her readers and I imagine the wait between episodes when it was released in serial form was unnerving. The Last Mission of the Living is a outstandingly gritty plunge into the marvelous world created by Rhiannon Frater. I enjoyed the pacing of the book and was quickly pulled in from the suspenseful horror to how they dealt with the fallout. Roman unwittingly opens the door to evil when he has his ancestors from Romania entombed on their property. His half-sister Alisha is twenty-two, and together they are raising their orphaned half-sibling Vanora, who has albinism. They believed that once the last human had died, the Scrags would die, too. They said humans were a virus, Omondi explained. The story begins in the present before swooping us back to events that took place ten years ago in Houston, Texas, where 32-year-old Roman Socoli lives with his sisters. In the last days of human world, the Gaia Cult rose up to declare that Mother Earth, Gaia, was purging humanity. The first book ends with enough of a hook to have me picking up the next book.

It doesn’t read like a serial (all the endless recap is absent), instead the story is fast-paced and addictive. Somewhere in the endless sprawl of aging buildings, her family was praying for her safety. In Darkness We Must Abide is a three-book series. Original released as an episodic serial, this book contains season one episodes 1-5.
