Revenant (Paskagankee Book 2) Kindle Edition

A sacred Navajo artifact, imbued with a shocking and dangerous power.

An amoral con man, willing to stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

And a tiny northern Maine town, isolated and vulnerable.

Last November, Paskagankee, Maine was shaken to its core, held hostage by a centuries-old curse, terrorized by a brutal killing spree stopped at the last possible moment by new police chief Mike McMahon and beautiful young patrol officer Sharon Dupont.

Now, just as the pair - and the town - is beginning to recover, a new horror comes calling.

Billionaire Seattle software designer Brett Parker is in Paskagankee to check on the progress of his newly-constructed summer retreat. But he's not the only new resident in town. Max Acton, murderous sociopath and Arizona cult leader, has gained possession of a long-hidden sacred Navajo artifact with the ability to reanimate the dead.

Acton aims to use the stone in a murderous plot to kidnap Parker and steal his revolutionary new software design developed for the U.S. Department of Defense, selling it to the highest bidder and making millions. He doesn't even need to get his hands dirty. All he needs is a victim to kill . . . and reanimate . . . and force to do his bidding.

All he needs is a revenant.

And the revenant is angry. And he's deadly. And he's unstoppable. And the town of Paskagankee will once again become a battleground between the living and the dead . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Freaky, good thriller
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2013

I enjoyed reading this book. It was very freaky to read, but I don't think it was as freaky as the first book in this series. I made the mistake of reading a little before bedtime, and had nightmares that night. I didn't have problems as long as I read it during the day. I just couldn't read it at night. The writing style was similar to the first book, and I appreciate when authors do that when they plan on doing a series. It makes it easier for the books to connect to each other.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really enjoyable tale of the supernatural
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2012

I really, really enjoyed 90% of this book. I can't say that at any point I felt frightened or disgusted, so I would not describe it as horror. But it took the revenant/zombie genre and added to it in a way that gave me pleasure.

Let's start with weaknesses. This is the second book in a series and the author frequently felt the need to retell events from the previous book even though, in my opinion, they had little relevance. This just slowed the story's pace. I also felt the prologue was unnecessary. I'm sure a fake newspaper excerpt or something could have been sufficient. Same reason, it just slowed things down. I also felt that the characters were mostly stock standard and of little interest.

Criticisms aside, this is one fun book. I found the title character to be really engaging. Without giving too much away, this man finds himself turned into a zombie (with all the downsides such as a rotting body) and he finds a way to deal with it. Perhaps that way is somewhat violent, but it keeps the reader interested.

I also loved the plot. It was not the typical "grr grrr grrr I need to eat brains" rubbish that we frequently see with zombies. I won't say more at risk of giving anything away.

The writing style was mostly crisp and easy to read. As a result I could focus on the tale itself.

I contemplated giving the book 5 stars because I did enjoy it, but in the end decided that it did not evoke the emotionally response in me that usually accompanies 5 stars. Having said that, I do recommend it and also expect myself to be reading more fo this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good second book in the series but lacks the originality of the first book
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2012
Verified Purchase
I love Paskagankee and wrote a raving 4 star review for the first book which I find to be unique and expertly layered; however, Revenant does not excite me nearly as much as the first book nor is the creep factor as high. What I love about the first book-the unique Native American lore, the depth of the characters, the unique story premise and the masterful storytelling, is all present in this sequel, but to a lesser degree in my opinion.

What I am not as impressed with:
First is the Native American lore surrounding a sacred stone-the centerpiece of this novel. A stone wielding this type of power would be immensly shunned by the Navajo so I found the premise to be a bit hard to swallow, even for a book of fiction. It is such a drastic change from the tone set in the first book that it took me awhile to try and adjust and I was never fully able to.

Second, we have the 'revenant'. **Mild spoiler alert** The market is and has been flooded with zombie books and zombie movies to the point of irritation. What I love about the first book is its originality, so I am disappointed to find this overused theme in the second book. Admittedly, the 'undead' element of this story has a bit of a unique twist that kept me interested enough to want to keep reading. **End mild spoiler** To be fair, since this is a personal preference, I did NOT detract stars for this in my rating.

Third, the two main characters do not have as much depth to them as they did in the first book. I understand the tension that the author wanted to convey between them but in doing so, somehow the characters come across as flat in areas where the author had the opportunity to take the reader even deeper. I felt a bit disconnected from the two main characters by the end of the book when I should have felt more deeply connected to them.

What I am impressed with:
First, the new characters we are introduced to are very well-developed. The author exposes to us to a couple of severely disturbed 'villains' who literally will do anything it takes to further their own interests. We also get to know on a more personal level a briefly introduced character from the first book-a guy we love to hate that is at the epicenter of the novel.

Second, the story is masterfully told, despite the few shortcomings I mentioned. The author knows how to grab and keep the interest of the reader. Regardless of my opinion on 'zombie' books, there is no denying that the author writes books that are impossible to set aside and not finish. I was entertained throughout the novel.

Third, this book is properly edited so readers will find themselves easily immersed in the story. The ending wraps everything up so no annoying cliff-hangers but there is certainly room for a third book in the series.

Overall, the second book in the Paskagankee series feels more like a mystery/suspense novel than a horror novel. Unlike the first book, I did not experience any chilling or spine-tingling moments. It reads more like an action packed suspense novel. While I did not enjoy this book as much as I did the first one, I am still a fan and eagerly look forward to the next book in the series. All in all, this book is worth the read. As with any series, readers will like some books more than others and in this case I favor the first book...so far anyway. Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Supernatural Thriller

I picked this book up as a free download and as such kind of put on it the back burner of my to read list, having just finished the book I should have bumped it up the list far sooner!

Revenant was my first Allan Leverone book and although it's a stand alone novel it clearly has re-occurring characters so I wish I'd read the first book first to get to know and bond with the characters more, however I intend to rectify that by downloading the first book :-)

I found Revenant fast moving from the first page and look forward to adding Allan Leverone to my one of my favourite authors list!

4.0 out of 5 stars Scary but worth reading

Allan Leverone's Paskagankee stories scare me. And I don't like scary books - if I did this one would have got 5 stars. But both the first and this follow up are excellent stories. Well crafted with interesting paranormal happenings. I just wish I wasn't such a wimpy reader. He really does deserve more reviews as he has a great imagination and passes that on well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sequel not as strong as the first novel

PASKAGANKEE (A Paskagankee Novel Book 1)

I have always been a great fan of horror and supernatural novels since I started reading them as a boy in the early fifties and over the years have amassed a large collection, mainly paperback copies and I am now replacing those available as e-books with Kindle Editions. This re-organisation has also given me the chance to revisit books that I have not read for a while and add some that I have missed. The two books in this series fall into the latter category, the author was new to me and the books found on Amazon by chance.

The spirit of a vengeful native woman seeking retribution for a three hundred year old murder terrorises a Maine community as the deaths mount up the local police chief must seek the help of a professor of ancient cultures to find a way of destroying the supernatural driven killings.

A well written tale with rounded characters and a good storyline reminiscent of early Graham Masterton or Stephen King. An author worth watching.

Revenant (Paskagankee Book 2)

Not exactly a sequel to the above but more of a crime drama with a native American supernatural twist which features the same pair of police officers as the earlier story. This one has an ancient native artefact which enables the owner to re-animate a corpse to do his bidding.

Not such a strong story as the first but never-the-less a good satisfying read.
