Dawn of the New Breed (A Tale of Vampires) by John Hennessy
SYNOPSIS
Just how long will a vampire wait for revenge?
Buy Dawn of the New Breed to find out in the prequel to the best-selling vampire series.
The full-length prequel to Murderous Little Darlings (A Tale of Vampires #1).
England, 1472. A teenage Mariana Claremont is having a secret liaison with England’s premier soldier and commander of the King’s army.
Unhappy with their union, separatists amongst the Kingdom set in motion a plan that will change England and Scotland forever.
Several centuries later, three vulnerable children catch the eye of a bloodthirsty yet lonely vampire. Will they escape the clutches of the vampire or usher in a new dawn of the undead?
MY REVIEW
n Dawn of the New Breed Author John Hennessy has sought to provide the background of Mariana Claremont, the Head Vampire in his Tale of Vampires Series.
Mariana was someone who had her young life, her unborn baby, and her lover, stolen from her five hundred years before when England and Scotland were frequently at war. At age seventeen Mariana and Francis Weston, a General in the King’s court fell in love. Weston planned to marry her, but fate had other plans for them.
Mariana's life changed forever when she was attacked by a demon. She disliked her new state at first, but survival was her greatest instinct.
Part II of the Book introduces us to Marcus, Rocco, and Juliana - the stars of Murderous Little Darlings.
To prevent spoilers, I will say no more.
For those of you who love vampire stories and have been following the Vampire series, you will not want to miss Dawn of The New Breed.

Five Star Review for Reunion of the Blood by John Hennessy
The Tale of the Vampires continues in this spine-chilling tale, “Reunion of the Blood.”
Vampires and humans plot to kill the head vampire and two younger ones.
Gretchen wanted revenge for the killing of her husband and for turning her into a vampire. A male vampire agreed to help her,but he had ulterior motives.
The head vampire also had other plans for Gretchen.
Two brothers of Juliana were at loggerheads because one wanted to kill her and the other insisted on saving her.
Nina’s mother, a police officer, was searching for the two brothers to punish them for kidnapping their daughter and allowing her to be turned into a vampire by their sister.
A deacon and Mariana’s helper were also on a quest to kill Mariana.
The name of the book, “Reunion of the Blood” is suitable for the events that took place. The vampires convened once every eleven years and that was the year of the reunion.
The book is the goriest of the five, and readers who are following the story would not want to miss how it all turned out.
If you have not read the first four books in this vampire series, I suggest that you read them before starting this one.
With every book I have read by John Hennessy, I have learnt more about vampires.
The author has a talent for bringing out traits in characters in ingenious ways and he must be commended for this skill.
I look forward to “Dawn of a new Breed.”
