A zombie outbreak is devastating the land and Commander Wesley Rogers believes he has found the cure for the virus. Unfortunately, it means kidnapping little Eve Halldor in hopes of using her blood to create a vaccine from her nanobodies.
Her young life is a sacrifice he’s willing to make to seat himself in the ultimate position of power.
What Rogers failed to consider was the rage of Eve’s vampiric mother launching her into swift reaction. Gabi Halldor, leader of the Crimson Army, will stop at nothing to save her daughter. Even if that means unleashing a war against the humans by telepathically controlling the zombie hordes. With her husband, Reynir, by her side, can they rescue their child and end Rogers’ reign of terror? Or will they discover that sometimes humans are far crueler than zombies?
The “Blood Calls for Blood” saga continues with Crimson Rising. Chock full of action, this gritty, supernatural page-turner is not to be missed!
Buy Link(s):
The plot of the first book was very good. This time around it took a nosedive. So you can sense heartbests for half a mile around or so. But you miss the one behind your back who took your daughter? A few more plot holes like that along the way. However, I tend to forgive these annoying glitches for the good reading enjoyment that this book gives the reader!

Meet The Author
Born in the land of Vlad the Impaler, Edmond Geanta grew up and studied Cybernetics in Romania.
At twenty-four he emigrated to America and on 4th of July 1990 with only $23 in his pocket, Edmond landed in New York. Later that year, he somehow ended up in Detroit, Michigan. He is still wondering about that…
After years of consulting in project management and strategy, it dawned on him that project management was like constantly dodging zombies. Inspired, but mainly bored to death during the Covid shut down, he put his thoughts on paper and his first book, “Project Z” was launched in June.
In his new series – “Blood Calls for Blood” Edmond takes the reader through a mind-numbing action ride. The series is peppered with love, humor, horror, but mainly the human spirit for hope and survival. But make no mistake, although vampires and zombies are the backdrop of his writing, the human element surfaces in every one of the pages of this thrilling saga.
On a personal level, I enjoy a glass of good scotch and love to travel around the world. My favorite places are San Sebastian in Basque country, and Blue Lagoon in Iceland. Saturday afternoons are usually spent at the local Barnes & Noble immersed in reading history and biographies while sipping a never-ending espresso.”
