Fright Eater

Summary: The Tracy Cohen saga continues. . .
Review: A great second novel. The Tracy Cohen novels continue in The Fright Eater. Really enjoyed the growth of not only Tracy, but the vampires too. More of Tracy's personal life is revealed. Great pace and suspense. Can't wait to read the 3rd one!

Rating:
Summary: Smart and Scary
Review: Not your average vampire story. I appreciate smart, competent people who are willing to stand up what what they believe. I also appreciate heroes who are human but trying to be their best. Rosen gives us all that and a scary tale to boot. No wimps here.

Summary: 4.5, but let's give it the whole 5.0...
Review: Three years have passed since Rabbi Tracy Cohen had battled against the undead in Arkansas. Her life partner, Jane Weston, felt invisible and worthless in Tracy's life. In fighting the undead Tracy did God's work. How could Jane ever compete with God? Fed up, Jane accepted a TV job elsewhere and left.

Tracy joined an intelligence agency that dealt with the extraordinary. The agency sent Tracy and her small group of fighters to Wako City. The city was torn by racism and the vampires had gathered among a group of Neo Nazis who were preparing to march through a part of the city heavily populated by Holocaust survivors. Tracy's estranged family lived in that part of the city as well. And Tracy needed to see them, needed to forgive them for what they had done to her. This was made even harder since the soulless seemed to be targeting her family.

Jane happened to be in Wako City as well. She noticed the bizarre happenings and just KNEW that Tracy would be the one in town to help out the police, with her golom at her side. Realizing how much she wanted and needed Tracy in her life, Jane began her search in hope of reconciliation.

**** This seems to be book two of a series. I missed book one, but have the third book waiting for me to begin. Even so, I did not feel as though I had been thrown into an abyss. The author did a wonderful job on the characters and the novel had closure. It could be read as a stand-alone book, however, it left me eager to see what the agency throws at Tracy's little group next! Tracy's life is much like the "Twilight Zone". Recommended! ****
