Blood Country
By Jonathan JanzPublisher Description
“If you’re searching the horror horizon for a dark star, your next must-read, the silhouette you see coming your way is Jonathan Janz.”— Josh Malerman, New York Times best selling author of Bird Box
Book 2 in The Raven series
Three years ago the world ended when a group of rogue scientists unleashed a virus that awakened long-dormant strands of human DNA. They awakened the bestial side of humankind: werewolves, satyrs, and all manner of bloodthirsty creatures. Within months, nearly every man, woman, or child was transformed into a monster…or slaughtered by one.
A rare survivor without special powers, Dez McClane has been fighting for his life since mankind fell, including a tense barfight that ended in a cataclysmic inferno. Dez would never have survived the battle without Iris, a woman he’s falling for but can never be with because of the monster inside her. Now Dez’s ex-girlfriend and Iris’s young daughter have been taken hostage by an even greater evil, the dominant species in this hellish new world:
Vampires.
The bloodthirsty creatures have transformed a four-story school building into their fortress, and they’re holding Dez’s ex-girlfriend and Iris’s young daughter captive. To save them, Dez and his friends must risk everything. They must infiltrate the vampires’ stronghold and face unspeakable terrors.
Because death awaits them in the fortress. Or something far worse.

“Uhm, yes. All the yes. This is the second book in the series, and I. am. hooked. The first book is definitely worth the read and I would 100% start there. This book continues the story of Dez, Iris, Michael, and Levi are on a mission to save Iris' daughter Cassidy and Dez's lady love (or is she?) Susan. Before they can do that, however, they've got to get Michael some life-saving antibiotics from the Latent-deserted pharmacy in a nearby town. Battles ensue - the descriptions of which are so good - and they continue on to try to find their people. I won't spoil it, but this book is full of adventure, suspense, super-intense fight scenes, and you're never quite sure our people are going to make it. I cannot wait to read more. It. is. so. worth it!”
