Rumspringa allows Jacob, an Amish youth, to visit New Orleans. Jacob loves his family, but he needs to explore the world he has read about in books. He also loves Hanna and promises to come back to her. He does return but dies, only to arise as a vampire. A murder in New Orleans leads a detective to investigate another one in Lancaster County, PA, where Hannah lives and mourns Jacob. Incorporating poetry and scripture, popular CF author Ellis (Facelift) weaves an engrossing, dark romantic tale about love, sacrifice, and faith. This series debut will appeal to both urban fantasy fans and readers who enjoy Christian-centered fiction.
