This World of Love and Strife by Shawn Mackey Publisher: D.X. Varos (March 15, 2022) Category: Horror, Vampire Thriller, Dark Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Tour dates: June 16-July 22 ISBN: 978-1955065238 Available in Print and ebook, 350 pages Description This World of Love and Strife by Shawn Mackey It is the duty of the Vanguard to protect the world from unseen demonic forces. But what if the organization falls to corruption? Their reformation is up to Cato, a disgraced former member who discovers many of the elite using their powerful positions and martial skills for ill-gotten gains rather than fulfilling their true purpose: aiding mankind in a secret war against their eternal foe. Aldous is a Vanguard who fell from grace after being stricken with vampirism by a mysterious figure known as the White Lady. His increasingly vile appetites are tolerated because his knowledge as an alchemist is vital in the Vanguard’s battle against the demons. When those desires lead to the abduction of the woman Cato loves, Cato wages a one-man war against Aldous and his werewolf henchman.

Praise This World of Love and Strife by Shawn Mackey

“While This World of Love and Strife will reach horror audiences, it also should be included in fantasy and thriller library collections as a strong example of the strengths that can emerge from a story that embraces different genres with powerful characters and scenarios that are unpredictable and engrossing.- D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review “The thrills build and build and never let up. The characters feel like real people. Even the vampires and werewolf! Best of all was the protagonist. He starts as kind of an eccentric and a bit of a jerk, but by the end I couldn't get enough of him. I highly recommend this book for people who don't mind horror with a heaping dose of action.”- John Martin, Amazon

These vampires are nitty gritty. Cato is a vampire that is tolerated by the Vnaguard because of his unique knowledge but he feels he needs to bring down the corruption of the Vanguard. If you like vampires and werewolves this book might be right up your alley. I recieved a review copy of this book from Virtual Author Book tours and was not required to write a positve review.
