I enjoyed about 60% of this. The creatures started out amazing but the politics overwhelmed the story when I just wanted creatures underground going nuts on the swat teams, someone to care about and a show down.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Yes, it is far-fetched and rather gory, but I am a sucker for these kind of books. It reminded me a lot of James Rollins' Subterranean and even Excavation. Fantastical creatures abound and the story is fairly predictable, but hey, it was fun.
The story left a lot of unanswered questions, but clearly a sequel is in the world. I can't wait.

I know it's genre fiction, but this was one of the worst horror novels I've ever read, in spite of having *two* authors
Two heads put together came up with this, good lord.

This books gets rolling from the very start. Fast-paced, action-packed, and a heck of a lot of fun with some intriguing twists I didn't foresee. Looking forward to the next one, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see this story getting adapted for TV sometime soon.

The "scary" introductory portion of the book was 4-stars. The political sub-plot portion only 2-stars contributing to an overall rating of 3-stars. There is certainly plenty of action but also somewhat predictable. Satisfying enough to make me want to read the sequel.

3.75 stars. Very easy read with little “fluff”. Writing is a little amateur. Story started off fast and strong, keeping momentum til the very end. Would make a decent movie

Short Summary: When a new subway line connecting New Jersey and New York makes its inaugural journey, it arrives in the station to a crowd of spectators that watch in horror as they realize that the train is completely empty but there’s blood everywhere.
Thoughts: This one was a ton of fun and full of creepy moments but the shift in the second half where the story focused primarily on political drama/conspiracies instead was somewhat disappointing.
Verdict: With similarities to The Strain and the very script-like way this was written, this would be a most excellent tv show.
