424 pagesHannah knows that she should move on and get over Jacob, who died two years ago. Wallowing in grief is not the Amish way, and Jacob's brother Levi loves Hannah and wants to begin a life with her. However, she just can't forget about Jacob. It doesn't help when she starts hearing his voice calling out to her in the night. Then a mysterious stranger shows up in town, a non-Amish man who met Jacob in New Orleans during Jacob's rumspringa, or "running around time." Meanwhile, a detective is investigating the strange disappearances of some young Amish, and what he discovers is more sinister than the simple community could have imagined.
When I heard that an Amish vampire novel had just been published, I had to check it out. It's such a ridiculous concept that I had to see how it played out--sort of like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Plain Fear: Forsaken certainly didn't fail to entertain. The contrast between the simple, religious Amish and the vampire craziness is pretty funny. The book moves a bit slowly at first; I feel like it could be about 100 pages shorter. Still, I enjoyed it.
