The demon-battling O'Mara siblings are still here and ready to slay vampires.
Vengeance is the final book in JL Rothstein's Heaven Sent trilogy. If you've been following from the beginning, you know that the nine O'Mara siblings are Guardians who, under the guise of working for the Catholic Church in Boston, battle demons—and rarely meet one who can best them. Vengeance has a different twist on this theme, and it's both an exciting new chapter and a fitting close to this series.
An apparent "vampiric virus" spreads, turning people undead. The media calls it that, but it's not really a virus. It's spread by bites, and vampires are "pulling demons from hell to increase the speed and force of the spread." The world goes into lockdown. Though it's not easy to kill a vampire and saving the world is a tall order, the O'Mara siblings were born to fight. If anyone can stab a vampire in the brain, it's this family. And they might be able to resolve the vampire affliction permanently, as they have privileged knowledge. They know that Hell is ruled by seven gods of darkness, each guarding a separate realm and holding its own hellcrux, which is "a weapon, but also a key, a way to get out."
