Helpful Score: 3

I am very particular about the books I read. When I initially received this book, I thought I would not like it. I thought it was some political thriller and not up my alley. Boy was I wrong. Scanning the first few pages turned into reading 50 pages straight while trying to get ready for work. The book just sucks (yes, the main character is a vampire so sucks is appropriate) you right in.

The main character Cade is a vampire. He is working for the President via a blood oath that began long before the current administration. The author brilliantly weaves actual events with make believe events and eventually, the author was so convincing, I started to wonder what was real and what was make believe (example Cade was stuck into the wall on 9/11 by a magic sword while the planes crashed into the Twin Towers, that was why he was unable to stop it). Cade, along with his older handler Griff and his new handler Zach protects the citizens and the President from evil forces.

There are some interesting evil forces; the zombies that remind me of my Barbie dolls that I used to break the heads, legs, and arms off and try to put back together, and the werewolves that can scent a sniper miles away, are just a few.

The story in the book is good and since the other reviews already delved into the story, I will not do it again. I cannot really say anything I did not like. It was such an easy read not because it was simplistic but because the book was like watching a movie. In fact, I would not be surprised if one day this book becomes a movie.
