Department 19 by Will Hill

I like vampires, I like action, I like the stories of Frankenstein and Dracula.  This book had all those elements.  This is a story of a secret government department that is charged with fighting vampires.  The story is told through a 3rd person narrator that tells us what is happening in present day as well as flashbacks that fill in the back story.  Some of the back story interrupted the action of present day, but helped clarify things.  This book has LOTS of gore and blood so be prepared.  Killing vampires is a messy business, so if gore and flying body parts in not your thing this is not the book for you.  There is a 2nd book in this series that I have just purchased for the library that should be here before the end of the year.
