A series of bizarre assaults is mystifying Boston police: an unknown attacker is viciously beating random strangers and leaving a note quoting an old warning about witchcraft. History professor Alex Maple was one of the victims, and now he's gone missing. Vickie Preston is certain that someone has taken her friend for malicious purposes. She's having blood-drenched visions that seem to be staining her waking life, and the escalating attacks suggest that a dangerous cult is at work behind the scenes—a cult so powerful that its members would rather die than be apprehended.
Vickie is grateful to have Special Agent Griffin Pryce and the FBI's elite Krewe of Hunters on her side. Vickie and Griffin are finding their way in an increasingly passionate relationship, and he's keeping her safe and sane amid the disturbing investigation. The search for Alex will take them deep into the wilderness of Massachusetts on the trail of a serial killer, where an ancient evil is waking.
Dark Rites is the 22nd book in the Krewe of Hunters series and the second to feature Vicki and Griffin. This one picks up right after the events of Dying Breath. Vicki's friend Alex has disappeared. Someone is attacking and kidnapping women on the street and it may be related to Alex's disappearance. I really enjoyed this one as much as the first book with this couple.
The mystery was pretty good. This time around, there seems to be a satanic cult involved. That story line was a nice change from the usual serial killer. I didn't call the ending at all. I had my suspicions, but my thought process was going in a completely different direction. I also loved spending time with this couple again. Their relationship was a bit fast in the first book, so it was nice to see them develop as a couple a bit more. Their story arc ends in the next book, Wicked Deeds. I have it ready to go, so stay tuned.
