Immanuel's Veins - Ted Dekker

Synopsis:
This story is for everyone--but not everyone is for this story.
It is a dangerous tale of times past. A love story full of deep seduction. A story of terrible longing and bold sacrifice.
Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what it should flee. Forgetting it once had a truer lover.
With a kiss, evil will ravage body, soul, and mind. Yet there remains hope, because the heart knows no bounds.
Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow.
Because the battle for the heart is always violently opposed. For those desperate to drink deep from this fountain of life, enter.
But remember, not everyone is for this story.

My Opinion:
Enrapturing.
From beginning to end. That was this book. I absolutely loved it!
This was my first time reading Ted Dekker, though I had heard lots about his works. Many of my friends know I love horror, and recommended him.
I'm so glad this book was my introduction to his writing and storytelling. It was so beautifully written, and the plot well thought out that the next stories I read of his in the future, will have a lot to live up to.
A really gripping yet not-too-scary novel. One that I definitely recommend to all older teens and adults that like Vampires. I should add these are not your usual Vampires either. I don't want to give anything away, but they are unlike any I have heard of, and I liked it even more for that.

5/5
