I've finished "Blood Prophecy" by Stefan Petrucha.
Product Description
Man and monster are in his blood. . .
His name is Jeremiah Fall. A soldier of fortune, he has been fighting his own war for 150 years -- ever since the beast in him was born.
Desperate to restore his lost humanity, Fall crosses the sands of Egypt, discovers a lost city off the coast of France, and finally arrives at the birthplace of all mankind. Shunning daylight and feeding only when he must, he battles the monster who transformed him forever. He can share his deepest secret with no one . . . not even the beautiful woman he starts to love, the only human who grasps the mysteries of an ebony stone as old as creation itself.
Across the world, across time, Fall seeks the stone's secret. But has he found a cure for himself or unleashed a final curse on all mankind?
About the Author
Born in the Bronx, Stefan Petrucha spent his formative years moving between the big city and the suburbs, both of which made him prefer escapism.
A fan of comic books, science fiction and horror since learning to read, in high school and college he added a love for all sorts of literary work, eventually learning that the very best fiction always brings you back to reality, so, really, there's no way out.
He first came to prominence as the author of the best-selling X-Files comic book series, based on the TV show and has since written eighteen novels including Timetripper, The Shadow of Frankenstein, and The Rule of Won. His recent work includes, Paranormal State: My Journey Into the Unknown (co-authored with A&E star Ryan Buell), Split, Diary of a Stinky Dead Kid, and the upcoming Dead Mann Walking.

My Review:
I really enjoyed reading this book because of the non typical vampire hero and the history!
As Jeremiah was tending the farming and digging up the ground to get their soil ready before the winter came. Once the monster was uncovered it attacked Jeremiah father killing him and draining his blood. Jeremiah managed to fend off the monster before it killed him and his grandfather. His dad returned from the dead and killed his mother and attacked Jeremiah into a vampire.
After decades he travels to Egypt where finds an artifact that will restore him to humanity. He gets involved in wars and finds the monster which started this all. He finds out later that the stone isn't his salvation but contains a greater evil than anyone can imagine. Now he must stay alive and stop the monster once and for all before he puts his plan into action.
Jeremiah is a smart, determined, couragious and a man you would like to bring home to meet your parents!
3/5
Thanks Stefan for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
