Book Description
The Eternal One
At our human limits, when we've gone as far as flesh and imagination can take us, we meet the Eternal One.
The CrowImmemorially old and inconsolable , he is there only for those who seek both revenge and love, and are willing to go all the way-and beyond.Wicked Prayer
On a coal-black night, on a desolate stretch of Arizona highway, two last-chance lovers die badly.
In these, the final, cruelest moments of his earthly existence, Dan Cody watches as the lifeblood of his lady is sucked down by the thirsty desert sands.In an instant , his heart and his redemption have been blown away by a postmodern witch and her sadistic goth-giant companion on their gor-soaked joyride to immortality.
But even as one life ends in pain and anguish for Dan Cody, another begins .He is about to join those chosen to walk beneath the shadow of the Crow's wing.Revenge will be the sole reason for his return; revenge on tow who are speeding into the night in a '49 lamb's-blood Mercury on the fast track to Hell..or Nevada.And thought Kyra Damon and Johnny Church have embraced evil with a zealor's fervor, they underestimate the power of what's pursuing them from beyond the grave-the rough beast that's now slouching toward Vegas with murderous rage in its dead eyes.
About the Author
Norman Partridge's first novel, Slippin' into Darkness, was heralded as "nitro-laced, in-your-face fiction" (Locus). His short fiction has made regular appearances in the "year's best" anthologies for suspense, mystery, and horror. A collection of short stories, Mr. Fox and Other Feral Tales, won the Bram Stoker award. Another collection of short fiction, Bad Intentions, was a World Fantasy nominee. A pair of supercharged suspense novels, Saguaro Riptide and The Ten-Ounce Siesta, followed from Berkley Prime Crime in 1997 and 1998.
Partridge has worked in libraries and steel mills. He loves rock 'n' roll, drive-in movies, and old paperbacks where the bad guys get away with murder.

A Wicked Story? Maybe..,

This review is from: The Crow: Wicked Prayer (Paperback)
This one I would rank personally right around Clash By Night. The love aspect is not strained at all but very natural. What I didn't like, however, was the fact that Partridge chose to write more of Kyra Damon then of Dan Cody, The Crow. It was a good try, for a crow story but it didn't work this time. Also, do all of these authors borrow from each other? One of the supporting characters, Emily Carlisle, her last name is the name of the avatar in Clash By Night. And I also thought Emily was too open to accepting Cody's situation. Otherwise, the story flowed well from one point to another, despite a few disappointing endings

This book was ok until the end. The end was a major let-down and seemed hurried. I also did not like the fact that Lilith has the grimoire *and* Raymondo.

I always enjoy a great read when I have a lot of downtime,

This review is from: The Crow: Wicked Prayer (Paperback)
I took this book with me when I took a flight to Mississippi for eye surgery. I started reading it on the way there, and after I got my surgery, I couldn't stand to read anything with my eyes hurting so bad. I was so disappointed that I could not finish the book right then and there, I was very into the plot from the beginning. The man in the beginning had a lot of mystery behind him and I was left wanting to know so much more. When I was able to start reading again, I could not put this book down.
