2: In God We Trust”“In F.D. Davis’s dark novel, In the Beginning, Adam Omega propels this thrilling tale of creatures-of-the night. You have never met a man, excuse me, a vampire like Adam Omega. Reading this, Adam would say, ‘Yeah, lady, get it right. I am a vampire!’ Adam is different from Anne Rice’s Lastat and L.A. Banks’s Rivera.

The story opens in 1005 A.D. Adam is a priest and gives up his priesthood to marry the love of his life, Eyanna. The local townspeople believe her be a witch because of her ability to heal. Already alienated from his God yet not entirely from his faith, Adam volunteers to be turned into an immortal to save his wife from being burned at the stake. To his horror, events turn against him. What happens next sets the stage for the rest of Adam’s eternal life.
Davis brings the story into today and Adam still grieving over the lost of Eyanna. He believes that the mortal lady Eve that he meets in church (yes, in church), is Eyanna reincarnated.
Eve is also frighten of Adam, believes him to be evil. Her emotions swing between love and hate for the vampire. (Is hate a ramification of love? I wonder.) But that does not deter Adam from his quest to reclaim his wife through Eve. His confusion about Eyanna and Eve turns into a nightmare for Adam and Eve. She may well be Eyanna’s reincarnation. Eve’s quest to save Adam and strengthen her wavering belief in God aligns her with Eyanna. But will she lose her soul in this quadrilateral perplexity? It becomes a battle of wills and faith, Adam’s being the strongest and Eve coming very close behind.
I was totally involved with In the Beginning. The issues are clear: true love is forever, faith is shaken and best of all, even immortals have a soul, and a sense of right and wrong.
If you are willing to suspend your logic, you will enjoy this interesting tale of love. I look forward to more from Adam Omega.

“A truly compelling story. Dark characters but fascinating.”

“F. D. Davis has done an amazing job crafting the story of Adam Omega, an arrogant overly powerful vampire, and his obsession, Eve. From the moment I started reading the novel until I read the last sentence, I was glued to the page. The prose was captivating and Davis's gift for story telling shines through. What would you do if your dreams and soon even your waking moments were taken over by a man that exudes danger and an unresistable sexual draw? What would you do if you found yourself suddenly heart and soul deep in a centuries old love affair and every molecule in you called out to a man you loved and left lifetimes ago?

At it's core this novel takes the age old battle between good and evil and blurs the lines so astutely you won't be able to pick a clear side. There is no black and white accuracy here, only bold, breathtaking, blood chilling shades of gray. As I read this novel I couldn't help but think of the wonderful author, Octavia Butler who left us too soon. Davis has created the same kinds of larger than life characters that Butler created in her Patternist Series with Doro and Anyanwu. We are just meeting Adam and Eve. And Davis has just given us a taste of what promises to be an exciting new paranormal series. But oh what a ride it promises to be. After reading F. D. Davis's IN THE BEGINNING: A VAMPIRE SERIES, I am convinced we have a wonderful and bold new voice in paranormal fiction to look forward to. And I can't wait to see what else that voice has to say. I strongly recommend this novel. Kudos F. D. Davis. Job well done!”
