Noir. Crimson Shadow, #1

A new life begins.As his eighteenth birthday approaches, the only thing that Xander Stryker wishes for-is death. Yet, he wakes up each morning, forced to go on living and remembering the image of his stepfather murdering his mother. Instead of dying, he is thrown into a supernatural world and offered a choice: continue his sorry life or start anew. For Xander, the choice is obvious. In the new world, life is just as unforgiving.
Horrors from his past lurk from the shadows. His self-destructive urges creep back. Old rage. New bloodlust. As they fuel a fresh legacy, Xander has to stand tall and show old monsters a stronger, better version of himself. If you like grit, horror, and compelling character chemistry, take a bite out of the dark, supernatural series by Nathan Squiers.
