MY REVIEWI'll have to say, I wasn't real sure in the beginning. It seemed like the same old song and dance with a policeman involved. But this story grew into something great. The concept of the vampire being a complete monster was the best I've ever read. I keep reading the same thing over and over with vampires. Them being companionate toward humans. No, this is how it is supposed to be. David got this one right. There was plenty of action and the rules of the game were completely different than anything I've ever read. The half dead minions gave it a little comic relief, but I found them creepier than anything, which is good. There were areas where the carnage was described and it made my stomach turn. If I can get into a book deep enough that it invokes a physical reaction; that is a good book. I have been raving to friends (that are true horror fans) that they need to read this book.

ABOUT THE BOOKAll the official reports say they are dead-extinct since the late '80s, when a fed named Arkeley nailed the last vampire in a fight that nearly killed him. But the evidence proves otherwise.

When a state trooper named Caxton calls the FBI looking for help in the middle of the night, it is Arkeley who gets the assignment-who else? He's been expecting such a call to come eventually. Sure, it has been years since any signs of an attack, but Arkeley knows what most people don't: there is one left. In an abandoned asylum she is rotting, plotting, and biding her time in a way that only the undead can.
Caxton is out of her league on this case and more than a little afraid, but the fed made it plain that there is only one way out. But the worst thing is the feeling that the vampires want more than just her blood. They want her for a reason, one she can't guess; a reason her sphinxlike partner knows but won't say; a reason she has to find out-or die trying.
Now there are only 13 bullets between Caxton and Arkeley and the vampires. There are only 13 bullets between us, the living, and them, the damned.View all my reviews
