Reader Reviews

"I have never read a vampire book before, and only read this one on the suggestion of the author. In reading, I found that I couldn’t tear myself away, the first time I went through it I didn’t have much time to read so it took me about a week or two, but the last time, I completed the entire book in only six hours. It is one of the best books I have read, with tales of Vampires, Slayers, and Egyptian Gods. I never before saw any way to fit all those legends together. In Façade of Shadows, love, agency, darkness, and light make a novel worth reading time and time again. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did."
    ~Jack Kelly

"Facade of Shadows was engaging. It always kept me guessing and it had the versatility to make me laugh and then have me crying a few pages later. Rick Chiantaretto creates every moment with the most uncanny lucidity and vibrancy."
    ~Lillian Castillo

"Vampires, witches (my favorite), slayers, Egyptian mythology, this book’s got it all! Façade of shadows is a scintillating tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more. With spellbinding characters, the story grasps the reader’s imagination and takes them through a journey of endless twists and turns, in which you never know if light or darkness will prevail."
    ~Sara Doty

"Never has a new author kept my attention like Rick Chiantaretto. He is imaginative, and has exceeded all expectations. His style of mixing Egyptian culture along with American mythology was unique and brought around in a superb way. This is one book worth reading!"
    ~Stephanie Marcum

"Façade of Shadows is full of dynamic multi-dimensional characters. You quickly become fascinated with the world of Dominique and Cynthia. Rick gives the world of the slayer his own dark spin. Chiantaretto gives you an intelligent fast paced horror, while blending lore, religious belief, and philosophy. Façade of Shadows has many layers and will lure you in again and again."

"I know horror films, and I could easily see this book being made into a movie. It has a unique approach to the vampire tale and it has some unexpected twists that can really captivate you. I don't want to spoil the plot, but here are a few tantalizing hints of what's inside this book: The orgin of vampires revealed; Egyptian mythology woven into the modern conception of vampires; forbidden love with an unexpected twist. I highly recommend this book to lovers of the vampire tale, be it in book, or film format."
