Ooey Gooey Glory

Do you want gore?  Do you want blood?  Do you want some vicious vampire action?  Here it is.  I kept stopping to mull over the fact that this book sounds like it was written to be a movie:  lots of action, contrived situations (that didn’t really bother me) and an unlikely love interest.  There’s even some nice inclusion of vampire references from historical and pop culture.  Oh, and FREAKING FRANKENSTEIN IS THERE! But really, it’s about the gore.  Gore, gore, and more gore.  If you are having problems getting a 14-year-old boy who plays Call of Duty to read a book, give him this.  Who doesn’t want to own your own personal stake-on-a-spring to kill vampires?  The book stands alone well, but is part of a new series.  I might read the next one, but I need to take a break from gooey explosions for a while.  4 out of 5 gold bags of O Negative to Will Hill.  The book, by the way, is Departent 19.
