Review: Family Heir: A Bigfoot Novel by Sara M. Drake

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Kelley longed for a normal life – to go to college, to have normal friends, and to work a nice desk job. When an unknown predator starts a killing spree, she finds herself drug back into a world that includes vampires, werewolves, and her ex-husband. Kelley agrees to lead the small team to find the murderer – which consists of one uncommunicative ex-hubbie and an inexperienced federal agent. Only shots in the night prove that Kelley has become a target and her training as a Hunter does nothing to prepare her for being hunted.

My Review:

An unknown predator goes on a killing spree and Kelley is forced back into a world of werewolves, vampires and her ex-husband in this fascinating urban fantasy.

Kelley is from a family of hunters and the latest mission has her teaming up with her ex-husband Troy and the new BHA Agent Brent to investigate a series of brutal murders in the mountains. Being named as the Family Heir complicates things for her not only emotionally but physically as she finds herself under attack. The reader can’t help but get caught up in this steady to fast paced plot that keeps anticipation building throughout with lots of suspense and excitement. The characters are strong, compelling and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning ensuring that the reader wants to know everything. Although the story doesn’t have a lot of romance involved there is quite a bit of flirtation between Brent and Kelley that may lead to something in the future.

There’s never a dull moment as the author introduces readers to a whole new world where humans know about werewolves and vampires and hunters are more like a combination law enforcement and liaison than just killers. The present mission takes Kelley, Troy and Brent to the mountains and along the way Kelley finds herself at the mercy of an unknown hominid species, the Sasquatch, and Brent and Troy will have to face themselves in a spirit walk if they have any hope of finding Kelley.

The fascinating world comes to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and draws the reader in as the characters face real challenges that have a whole different meaning. There are lots interesting and different elements that make for refreshingly different and unique situations and intriguing characters to keep readers well entertained. I was enthralled in the book from the very beginning and I am looking forward to finding out more about the promising possibilities of this world.
