"This is definitely for western or vampire lovers alike."

After all the pain Chris had been through in his young life he thought the worst thing he would have to deal with now would be who ever is rustling cattle off of his adopted father, Clem's land. Chris just didn't know how wrong he was.

When he was young Chris not only lost his parents, but his sister was raped and died in a fire deliberately set. Then six years later he lost his innocence when he killed the man that was responsible for what happened to his sister. Now just when he thought life was on an even keel he loses his adopted father and his fiancée. Not to mention that when he finds out who or what is responsible for all his pain he may lose his mind.

Chris sets out to catch the men that killed Clem the housekeeper and most of the ranch hands he finds more then he's expected. The head of The Dark Rider's as they are called is none other than Milus Clint the man responsible for his sister's rape and death. Trouble is Chris knows he shot him in the face and killed him six years earlier. So if this is so how did he survive? Or did he? Is he actually what the Indians call a Dead-Walker and the white man calls The Darker Riders or vampires? But that's impossible there are no such things. Are there?

The answer Chris finds out is worse then he could have ever imagined. Not only are they real, but they are there to pay Chris back for what he did to Milus Clint six years earlier. Not only is Chris dealing with this, but he has to deal with a terrible secret that Windy his best friend and Segundo on the ranch has to finally tell him. With all of this going on Chris nearly loses his mind. At least that is until he sets his mind to destroying Milus Clint. But how is this going to be accomplished when the only help Chris has is Windy and Matalija, former prostitute now vampire?

This book has everything any western, vampire or romance lover needs. I personally liked this book and look forward to reading more by this author.

From the darkest reaches of the Wild West comes a terrifying band of desperados bent on a course of destruction and revenge. Led by a vicious outlaw with half a face, they are called Dark Riders, neither dead nor alive, trapped in a world of eternal darkness. They descend upon the 7HL ranch in a fury of flashing fangs and ruthless bloodlust, leaving the compound littered with bloodless bodies.

When Chris Durrin, a man stalked by death and nightmares, returns to find his uncle and all cowhands murdered, he soon realizes the devil has come to claim his due--a devil named Milus Clint.

A devil he killed six years previous.

Within hours he finds himself locked in a struggle between the world of the living and the realm of the undead. His loved ones butchered, he wages a desperate fight against the forces of darkness and the ghosts of his past. Can he overcome the menace before he too becomes one of the living dead, or will he be another in a long line of victims of The Dark Riders?
