The last 100 or so pages of this book were probably the most exciting I’ve read. I literally couldn’t put it down at the end and read straight through to the finish.
This is the third book in the The Strain trilogy. I hadn’t read the first two, so at the very beginning I was a bit lost. But once I got  up to speed, I had a hard time putting this one down.
It’s vampires, but not the pretty glittery happy vampires that you see so often today. These guys are mean, gross, and not human at all. They’re cold blooded killers who rule the world and herd people like cattle for their consumption.
Very dark and somber times for the humans. The ending was great too, very realistic given the situation. I especially like how the whole vampire plot ties into actual history. The archangel’s tale, etc. were all extremely well done. They really add a sense of realism to the story.
Excellent book, I’ll have to check out the previous installments.
