Vampire Apocalypse: A World Torn Asunder by Derek Gunn
5.0
Although this book starts a little slow, stick with it as it turns out to be 1 of the best reads I've read this year!!
I admit that when I first started, some months ago, I only got a few pages in to it and gave up. This time around though, having started from the beginning again, I stayed focused on it and I was really surprised!
The outline to the overall plot is a great concept and you get sucked straight in to the thick of it!!
The book is broken down in to several story lines that all end up in the same place. As I mentioned earlier, the first part is a bit slow in getting to the main parts, but is essential to set the scene.
There is 1 main character throughout, a guy called Peter Harris. There are several secondary characters make up the other story plots also and these are very crucial to the overall story.
I have 1 other criticism about this book, in that there are parts of it that jump from story to story without it actually making sense, BUT, if you re-read them you actually can see it in movie form in your mind so in essence it does make sense.
Overall a brilliant read with great characters and settings; I shall definitely be getting the other books in the series.
