Stake Out by Lily Luchesi is an exciting supernatural novel about a secret paranormal unit in the FBI, hunting down a vicious killer. Danny is sidelined and retired after he is attacked by a bloodsucking beast. Danny is adamant about what he saw and what happened at the scene, but nobody believed his fantastic report. Ostracized by his fellow officers and deemed emotionally unfit to work in the Chicago Police Department any longer, Danny goes into a deep depression. However, two years later he is approached by the FBI and asked to help them hunt down the savage monster that attacked him and murdered the girl he was trying to rescue. At first, Danny is unsure about working with non-humans, but when the woman who was his partner at CPD becomes the next victim, he immediately joins the paranormal unit and becomes a temporary agent. Nothing is the same in the FBI unit, not weapons, not protocols, nor humans. Will Danny be able to get past his bigoted mindset and work with the non-human agents or will he become the next victim?
Stake Out by Lily Luchesi is a spectacular supernatural novel about a man's first encounter with non-human beings that live in the night. This is a thrilling story about those creatures that incite our imagination and terrify us when we walk alone in the dark. Danny meets these beings that we only know from horror flicks and campfire stories. He now has a new understanding of those sinister incidents that transpire in the concealing darkness of the night and realizes that they are not fiction. Sickened by these discoveries, he has difficulty coping with this new and unfamiliar frame of reference. It is sad that he let his intolerant, narrow-minded ideas affront those with whom he works. He didn't even try to understand. To him, the only good vampire is a slain vampire. It is a fascinating idea that bigotry extends far past human beings. This is a phenomenal supernatural novel for those who love creatures of the night sagas. I really enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to reading the sequel.
