Draculas by Blake Crouch

Picked up this book as I'm a long time fan of F. Paul Wilson. This book was brilliant - a bit of a different take on vampires, and I enjoyed every single page. Wish it was longer, since it was such an enjoyable storie.

The God Gene (The ICE Sequence #2) by F. Paul Wilson

Brilliant sequel to Panacea where Laura and Rick goes searching for Rick's missing brother. A search that takes them all the way to Madagascar.

Panacea by F. Paul Wilson

Wow, what a journey!

Once again, F. Paul Wilson takes the reader on an incredible exciting journey.
And he sure knows just how to portray the Brotherhood so that you can not help but to despise them.

Infernal: A Repairman Jack Novel by F. Paul Wilson

Probably closer to a 3.5. This was my least favorite Repairman Jack book. I simply could not stand the brother. It sucked the life out of the whole book for me.
