The Gathering

I have read, and enjoyed, all of CJ Tudor's books to date. Not so The Gathering. I absolutely loved it. It was probably the most bizarre book I've read so far this year, and that's exactly why I loved it.
Set in present day Alaska, the book starts off with Detective Barbara Atkins being sent from New York to the small Alaskan town of Deadhart to investigate the murder of a teenage boy. Before you can say From Dusk Til Dawn, the reader soon realises that this is no ordinary police procedural, and Detective Atkins is no ordinary detective.
I'm not going to give too much away, but I'll give you a small clue: Vampyrs.
The Gathering has some very interesting characters. It's big on atmosphere and suspense, and there are one or two surprises. It is, dare I say it, fang-tastic.

Note: If you're a fan of the Twilight series, this is NOT the book for you.
