This book was a totally unexpected surprise that I devoured in two days. It also marks a return to reading on the Kindle and I have to say that I really enjoyed the experience and think it lent itself to me progressing so quickly.
This is the sequel to The Strain, and the third in the trilogy comes out at the end of the month. It has been well over a year since I read the first book and I didn’t think I remembered much but I found myself right back in the swing of things without much trouble, and the authors made the transition very easy. There wasn’t a lot of rehashing of plot points from the first book, instead a new plot was introduced that I thought was a lot of fun.
And how does one keep a girl like me hooked on a doomsday vampire book? You introduce Nazi vampires and an ancient book that holds secrets. Do that and you have me hook, line and sinker! I love that the bad guys are really bad and the good guys are really good, and all seems lost but then you find yourself chuckling over one-liners. This isn’t some great piece of literary writing, but it sure is a heck of a lot of fun and a great way to spend a rainy weekend.
