"Classic tale of undying love"
Ferver Black is tired of chasing after mortals for blood.
When he encounters a cop in need of help, faced with two
vampires hell bent on making him their next meal, Ferver
comes to the officer's aid and stakes the vampires.
Ferver, gains the respect and appreciation of Terry
Snodgrass, the Chief of police for New Orleans. Showing
his appreciation, Terry offers Ferver a job on the police
force, after some special arrangements, Ferver takes the
job. While patrolling one night Ferver encounters a car driving
extremely slow; holding up traffic. Ferver decides he'd
better pull over the car; so traffic can move swiftly
again. When he approaches the car, the woman is terrified,
her skin is white as a sheet; she is convinced she is a
vampire. After trying to help calm the woman, Ferver blurts
out the woman's name before she even mentions it. Genevieve
Durocher, was her name, and she bore an uncanny resemblance
to a woman he loved 200 years ago. Infatuated with Genevieve, Ferver takes her on several
dates and they both seem to fall for one another, but there
is someone who would love nothing more than to take
Ferver's love away from him again; Lucien Baptiste, an
archenemy from his past, who loves Genevieve as well.
Ferver must stop at nothing to prevent Lucien from getting
to his love or he will loose her once again. Will Ferver
get his Christmas wish? Ferver Black's Christmas Wish by Marc Jarrod is a
classic tale of undying love. I love the way Mr. Jarrod
portrays the vampires in his story, he brings back
traditional myths such as the stake in the heart, garlic,
and the vampire taking on a monstrous form. I dearly love
reading about futuristic vampires as well as vampires that
are immune to almost anything, but sometimes it's nice to
go back to the traditional vampire. This story is uplifting
as well as adventurous, it is a great story to read this
holiday season.
