Blood Tells True (Vampires of the Plains #2)

Alan Ryker (Goodreads Author)

Blood Tells True is an admirably direct follow-up to Burden, Kansas, in which we rejoin Jessica Harris roughly a year after the events of the first novel. As with the first book, it's characterised by an inexorable building dread that culminates in weighty, explosive violence.
It doesn't feel like an entirely organic sequel, in that it seems as though it was produced in response to the success of the first novel. And it doesn't have quite the same arresting bite (a-ha) as the first book, the circ...more

Alan Ryker has become one of my all time favorite authors. His characters are some of the more 'realistic' people I've ever read. The people he writes about make sense to me given the circumstances they are faced with, as well as the type of life they have lived.
The fact that Alan Ryker writes Horror, Speculative Fiction and Urban Fantasy adds to my enjoyment all the more.

After finishing Burden Kansas (Vampires of the Plains), I couldn't help myself. I had to continue on right away with part two of the series Blood Tells True. To be honest, at first I didn't see where the author could take the story, but he was able to continue it on in a believable way.

Blood Tells True is the second book in Alan Ryker's Vampires of the Plains series. I absolutely loved the first book, Burden Kansas, but I liked Blood Tells True even more. After a horrendous experience in the first book, Jessica, the female MC, and now resident vamp killer, returns in full force. When I first read the description for the book I have to admit I thought to myself "no, please not another Buffy character." That fear was quickly squashed in the opening chapter. Just like the first b...more
It's been a year or so since I read the first book in this series so I went back and reread it and it was just as good the second time. The second book, LOVE IT. The story continues with Jessica picking up where her uncle left off and she has become quite the vampire hunter. Lots of good action and excellent story and makes for a very enjoyable read. Great way to spend an afternoon in the sun and look forward to any further in the series!
Ryker expands his canvas for the follow up to Burden, Kansas---which was excellent. With the survivors from the first tale he takes the show on up the road a bit and involves a neighboring community that has a different sort of vampire problem. New characters add life to the story and moving the vampire up the evolutionary scale a bit make for a compelling story line.

Another winner. This story begins where the last one left off and is action packed.
It grabs you from the start and doesn't let go. Cannot wait until the next book.
