Book Review of: "Crusader (A Ministry of Paranormal Research and Defence)" By Andrew Chapman

Book Title:  Crusader (Ministry of Paranormal Research and Defence)
Author:  Andrew Chapman
Genre:  Paranormal, Romance, Action

Crusader is book two in a trilogy.  It leaves off where Pagan ended for the most part.  Same characters, same fun with them, but Andrew has added some new characters for our hero Jack AKA "Pagan" to play with.

Our author is again, meticulous in describing our munitions as well as the gifts of munitions that are given between team members and significant others.  But, yet again, they're meaningful so pay attention to the descriptions....to a certain point... believe me I just kinda grazed over the descriptions at times because it slowed down the story for me.  But I was glad I knew them further into the story because the descriptions had significance.

This time, Pagan has a score to settle, and the Ministry has given him unlimited funds to also work with an important client and retrieve what is meant to be an important relic of some sort.  Again, the story is written in way that you'd almost believe it wasn't a book of fiction.  It walks a very fine line using other stories that are prevalent as fiction in our modern society yet also walk that fine line of possibility that it could be truth.  Andrew has a gift with writing a story that way.

I truly like the plot of this book a little better than the original book because of the story being told and how we dabble in history a bit and we get to see the life of "the blood suckers".  We also find new allies and they're pretty awesome too, and integral to Pagan's progression.  The plot of the first book was interesting but it's also what sets the wheels in motion for this book, which is why I like it so much better.  

I was disappointed to see this one end and am waiting...  and waiting...  for the next one.  I really like this series as it's different and I think many others will like it for the same reason.  So don't lose us now Andrew!
