About What Vengeance Comes:
John Decker left Wolf Haven, Louisiana, to escape the memories of his troubled past, believing he would never return. But after twenty years working for a big city police department, he suddenly finds himself back in Wolf Haven, taking the reigns as the town’s sheriff. Expecting to spend his time dealing with the trivialities of small town life, the occasional drunk, cats stuck in trees, and domestic altercations, he instead finds a vicious killer picking off the residents one by one. Scrambling to find answers before anyone else dies, Decker stumbles across an age-old superstition, a terrifying creature conjured from the depths of hell to seek revenge.

My Thoughts:
I was looking for another supernatural thriller good read after reading Counting Crows by Joe Talon. I was having a post-good-read-hang-over.
There is a big, scary monster in front of you who already killed a lot of people you knew. So, what do you do?! You stand around and make conversation! **face-palm**
Fight scenes and plot building is not this author's forte.
Jet Malakai reads with just a tiny bit of sing-song. I do not like sing-song narrators. However, I soon forget about the sing-song as I get pulled into the story.
