Feast of Reverence — Kathryn M. Hearst

For centuries, Serena served as an assassin for one of the most influential forces throughout history-the Catholic Church. Lately, the only assassinations she has in mind are her relationship with Nicholai, and his propensity to lose their mortgage money at the poker table. That is until Nicholai's human descendant is murdered, and he's the prime suspect. As the body count rises, Serena and Nicholai are forced to question everything they believed true and work together, to track down the killer before it's too late. If you like Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Linsey Hall, or Laurell K Hamilton, you will love the first installment of the Sinistra Die series. Praise for the Sinistra Dei series: Brutal, cruel, tender and sexy - A story of choices and long-lasting consequences of frivolous decisions and the impact of your choices on those you love. - Reader ReviewThe story is full of surprises, particularly the end, and is well written, though in a clipped style. I think it would be enjoyed by any urban fantasy fan, especially those who like a little Christian mysticism in their stories. - Awesome IndiesA creative and exciting book that is full of action. There are no lulls in the story and the hits just keep on coming. It is an overall enjoyable book that I would recommend to anyone looking for a vampire story that hasn't been played out. ★★★★★ -Fang-Freakin-Tastic ReviewsIt is very difficult for an independent author to step into a well-established literary archetype and handle it as marvelously as Kathryn M. Hearst does in Feast of the Epiphany. The second book in the Sinistra Dei series showcases the author's thorough understanding of the common tropes of the vampire genre while confidently setting her foot in the sand as a new voice with new ideas in an otherwise crowded section of the bookshelf. ★★★★★ - Awesome IndiesThe old adage that sequels never live up to their predecessors is no longer correct, and this sequel to "Feast of the Epiphany" is amazing and powerful.
