I love Krisi Keley’s unique, passionate, vibrant and philosophically thought provoking novels. Pro Luce Haber is a moving prequel to ‘On the Soul of a Vampire’, which received an M-Award for memorable speculative fiction. It can be read as a stand-alone novel, but if you’ve read the previous book, you’ll enjoy seeing in full the events referred to before. Pro Luce Haber takes us back to thirteenth century France to when Valery leaves his home and sets out on a journey that begins full of hope, but leads to him feeling abandoned by God and ends with him being turned into a Vampire. The book is full of mankind’s injustice to mankind in the name of God and justice, and it documents Valery’s struggle to come to terms with his ‘remade’ self and reconcile his beliefs with the fact that he must kill in order to live. The events shown are dark and disturbing, and Valery’s angst is real and continual, yet the book is full of light, Valery’s light. The light of his soul, his compassion, his beauty - both inner and outer, his unquenchable search for truth and the depth of his love. I love Valery and I wonder what it is about this tortured soul that draws me so. I think it is his thirst to know God. Even when he has given up on God, still he seeks to know the essence of life, which is in the end, the same thing. Keley’s vampires can’t live on animal blood, because they seek to taste the soul of their prey at the moment of death. Animals do not know good or evil, or right or wrong, and without this knowing, their life is too simple for their death to satisfy. So Valery is forced to kill, hence to sin and deal with his guilt. As we travel with Valery across Europe and through his life, we also hear the stories of his friends, mostly sad tales of love and loss, betrayal and unjust punishment. The stories make for moving reading in themselves, but what makes them special is how each person shares with Valery their philosophical rationalisation for their and other’s behaviour. This adds to the books deeply contemplative nature. It’s probably not a book for everyone, but it’s perfect for those who like an intense, passionate character in a dark setting and especially for anyone interested in medieval history. I give it 5 stars and look forward to volume two in Pro Luce Haber.

I enjoyed this book but had a hard time reading it. The characters were well fleshed out and Ash and Conn were perfect. It took until page 186 for me to get into the story though. There were many unnecessary subplots going on in the book that I kept putting the book down then picking it up again. I don't see where the whole gang war was necessary or the funeral scene. I think the book would have read much better if it was 100 pages shorter. The Ash-Conn story was great.

Former Shakespearean scholar Hurwitz has become a true master of the ‘suburban thriller’, where ordinary people find themselves in extraordinary peril. Developer Mike Wingate has a nice life and family. He’s come a long way since being abandoned at a playground as a child. But things start going wrong: a stranger seems to recognise him, then threats, then attacks. How can he protect his family when he doesn’t even know what his unknown enemies want? A gripping page-turner, full of real emotional tension.
My only problem with this book is the slow start and quick ending. However there are some fantastic creations in this book, had some great plays on words, and overall was really fun to read.

Loss, betrayal, hopelessness, renewal. This book is about all these things and so much more. This is one of the best books I have ever read.
