Murder (Black Shadow Series Book 1) by Linda Guyan is a chilling murder mystery novel that is nightmare inducing. The incongruity of a beautiful woman filled with a lust for blood and a friendly community stained by horrifying deaths gives the plot a nice twist. The complexity of the antagonist's character is well done; her insanity and thirst for blood is ghoulishly bone-chilling and stays with the reader long after they have put the book down. This is a thrilling murder mystery, filled with suspense and gore that keep the reader on the edge of their seat from start to finish. If you like reading stories from the killer's point of view, then you will love this one!
