Story is fairly interesting until about 3/4th though, where the author gives too much attention to Elise who doesn't matter to the story at all (and detracts even more from the main characters lack of chemistry) and also gives more history for Paul than is necessary. Plus at this point the characters and story are kind of at a standstill. Once you get past that the ending is decent.

David Bernstein continues to delight his growing readership with more and more original fiction. In "Tears of No Return," he takes a break from the zombies to deliver a horror/sci-fi conspiracy tale in which a corrupt science lab has developed something that produces supernatural abilities in people--the "tears" in the title are the way it's transmitted from one person to the next. It's another fantastically original, action-packed, suspense-filled novel from David Bernstein that'll appeal to fans of "The X-Files," and is highly entertaining.

Not my cup of tea.

So no, not a book I'll ever return to. The plot was interesting, but the writing and characters fell flat. And don't even get me started on that ending. Ugh.

Strange but engaging. It was a bit of a twist in some ways from many of the ubiquitous vampire and other supernatural novels that have sprung forth recently. At the same time it kept many of the elements that make those novels popular, violence in particular. The ending is a bit of a letdown, it just sort of stops, with no real resolution to anything - I suppose setting up a sequel at some point.
