Helpful Score: 1

I really liked the way this book handled its vampires and zombies bringing a more scientific explanation to the table especially explaining the traditional shambling stumbling idiot zombie in a logical way.

That being said I was a bit disappointed in this book. As a non-romance paranormal and mystery junkie I was hoping this was going to be a bit more of a hard boiled noirish Harry Dresden/John Taylor type of book. Sadly it didn't meet that expectation. The vampyric aspect of Joe came across merely as a plot device and hindrance and while it did help create tension for the story and problems for Joe it almost seemed like any "disease" could have filled that bill.

I think the biggest telling point is less than a month after reading it I had to really stop and think about how the book ended and who the villain turned out to be.

I want to like Joe and there are a few interesting subplot points that I would love to get answers too so I will probably try the second book, but I don't know if I'll make it through the whole series.
