Dark Inheritance
A serial killer is on the loose and a prominent doctor discovers she is not the person she grew up believing herself to be. These seemingly unrelated characters find themselves drawn together by an ancient lineage.
Detective Doug McKenna is baffled by a series of bizarre killings that have shocked the city of Toronto. All the victims have had their throats brutally slashed, yet there is little blood at any of the crime scenes.
Dark Inheritance questions the concept of good and evil and looks at how an ancient predisposition for evil might be genetically passed from generation to generation.

Detective Doug McKenna is investigating what looks like a serial killer cases. Problem is, with the throats being slashed like they were, where is all the blood? Then there is the doctor who finds out she isn't who she thought she was. These seemingly unrelated characters find themselves drawn together by an ancient lineage. This book is about good and evil and is it possible the evil is predisposition for evil might be genetically passed from generation to generation? Not for the faint of heart. I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this book from Hidden Gems.

This was a modern vampire story set in Toronto. It was interesting with many twists and turns. A subplot dealt with the question of do the strong and powerful have the right to dominate and exploit the weak to ensure their survival?
It was also hard to picture all of this mayhem happening in Toronto. A city I know well and where violent crime is rare. Over the years I have wandered all over the city and have never felt unsafe unless you are talking about the traffic which is another story.

I could not get thought it and this book made me feel bored and tired from trying to read this book. I really like dark books and this one I couldn't finish. I am sorry I just couldn't finish this book.
