I'm a big fan of del Toro's movies. Was very excited to hear he co-wrote a trilogy. So when I started this book I had very high expectations. When it started out I was very disappointed. Things were happening but there was not enough there to keep me interested. I had no intention on giving up on this book though so I pushed myself to go on. It really didn't start to grab me until a little more than 1/4 of the way through the book. As I read I became more into what I was reading and started enjoying it.
It's about a kind of plague that is going around. This plague is spread by vampires but not by the typical vampire we've read about or seen in movies. I like the twist on this version. It's a bit different and quite creepy. There was even one part that made me gag a bit which surprised me because there is not much out there that bothers me.
For most part I liked the book and look forward to book 2. The only thing I didn't like about it was at times I was a bit confused on the whole vampire background. Not sure if it was because I was not focusing well or because it will be covered more in book 2. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a different vampire story.
