Comments for Pale Death: A Lee Nez Novel (Lee Nez)

  Always a pleasure
  
  I like all of the books in this series. Alot of story and not full of sex. A little romance - just enough.

  Rushed, but a decent thriller
  
  While I've read the Thurlos' novels featuring the half-vampire police office Leo Hawk/Lee Nez before, this book feels rushed. The plot moves so quickly that there's little description of places and the characters, save Lee and his lover, Diane, are merely ciphers. The book does have an interesting plot concering US government experiments on vampires and how that leads to Lee and Diane chasing a full vampire who's turned serial killer through the cities of New Mexico.

  Love this Book/Series
  
  If your looking for sexy brooding vampires hunting down females and drinking their blood don't read this novel. This is a great detective novel which happens to feature a native america who was attacked over 50 years ago by a vampire. The changed was only completed 1/2 way and our hero is a 1/2 vampire. This is not a silly or light read and it is right up there with my favourite detective novels. Its real, gritty, detailed orientated and beautifully written.
  
  I've read the whole series and can't wait for another book in the series.

  Whether you believe or not!
  
  Whether you believe in vampires or not,is not important in this enjoyable read. This was my first Thurlo novel and I enjoyed it. Although at times I thought it was too long, with no action, but I did enjoy the storyline and plot.(Have you ever read a novel and just wanted to find out what was going to happen? That was what it was like at times when I was reading this novel.) It is a simple, yet at times, complicated plot.... A man (Stewart Tanner) is being held and experimented on by a secret government organization because he appears to have a sensitivity to light, extraordinary healing powers and strength. The people who are holding him "seem" to believe he is a vampire or at least believe that there is something worth risking their lives for to find out. You aren't sure who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. Anyway, Mr. Tanner escapes during a power outage and goes on a murderous rampage to "payback" those that tormented him. Hawk (Leo Hawk aka Lee Nez aka half Navajo/half vampire) is on the case with his trusted partner and girlfriend (although no romance happened, with the exception of stolen glances) Diane Lopez. There are a few other surprises that I am not going to spoil for the reader, but I am interested enough to read another Thurlo novel.

  Sink your teeth into this savory book
  
  The Lee Nez novels featuring duh Lee Nez, who now calls himself in the present, Leo Hawk, has a continued quality of excellence. The Thurlos, as many others, have other series with other characters, but Lee Nez appealed more to me - see, he's a half-vampire - ravaged by a vampire, he goes to a medicine man who knows how to counteract the curse to let Lee be able to function in the daylight hours (with lots of sunblock) and to be able to eat and drink like normal - although he likes a good drink of calf blood now and then - He's a functioning vampire -
  His partner, now turned to partner/girlfriend, is Diane Lopez - she knows his secret and partners with him very well.
  Pale Death deals with a secret government experiment testing the healing properties of a real vampire - who in truth is tortured and is truly driven into a mad killing rage - you kind of see both sides to the vampire thing -
  Also in this series, there is a lot of Indian lore, which is rich and based on earth and elements and dignity.
  This series keeps getting better - a great read.
