Guillermo del Toro

The book is written in a different style to the current trend for vampire-romance novels, being much more gory and graphic - the authors portraying vampirism as a disease, and the creatures as less than human. Although this book was a sequel, and I had not read the first instalment, I found it easy to pick up the story and follow the characters.

Well, a vampire zombie fest is not my normal reading but this is very good. It is a combination of Will Smith's I am Legend and Sean of the Dead (may be I'm a bit cynical but I can see the funny side!), together with some good old blood sucking thrown in to the mix!
