When I first heard of this book, I wasn't too sure of it. I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth and wasn't impressed by it. I knew this book could either be really good or really bad. I have to say, it was really good! I was surprised how wrapped I became in it. At times I could actually hear Abraham Lincoln talking...:)

Seth has taken Lincoln's history and incorporated in vampires. He does it so flawlessly that at times you actually could believe that it was possible. We are taken from the the death of his mother (by vampires) and his oath to avenge her to the day he meets Henry Sturges (a vampire) who trains him to be the best vampire hunter. He meets Edgar Allen Poe and finds his fascination with vampires a bit morbid. Lincoln didn't want to free the slaves because he believed in it, he wanted to free them because he learned they were the food source for the vampires. He figures, get ride of slavery you will get rid of the vampires. We learn that Jefferson Davis is on the side of vampires and Henry has been training Lincoln to fight this battle against him (which turns into the Civil War).

I loved it and urge people to give it a chance, it isn't as cheesy as it looks...:)
