I loved it. I’m scared to read the other two in the series because I’m not sure they’ll be as good. Excellent combination of science horror and supernatural horror.
Okay, I actually only got 75% through this book, but I give up. If you like cheesy B-movie horror, this may be perfect for you, but it’s not for me. It actually started pretty strong with an intriguing mystery and interesting — if not entirely original — take on vampires. But it quickly devolved into schlock and cliches. Definitely a hard pass from me.
Pretty predictable and cliche, but honestly couldn't stop listening.
Really enjoyed this book. I liked the excitement and pace of the action. It read like a sci-fi apocolypse zombie thriller (only with vampires). I normally would see vampire on the jacket and put it back down. I'm glad i gave this a chance: the way the authors greated the vampire pandemic as a viral outbreak gave it a bit more sci-fi feel (and thus more realistic) than a traditional vampire novel.
I enjoyed a new take on the traditional Vampire story but it was a bit repetitions in places. I like the characters, even the villians. And I like the main vampire hunter's back story.
i read this book for a book club but didn't find it to be stellar reading. Guillermo should stick to making movies.
A quick and fairly fun summer read, but, ultimately, not that scary or engaging. I expected a better monster from Guillermo Del Toro and, while I don't regret reading this, I doubt I'll pick up the subsequent books.
Different twist on the Vampire story, I like it a lot.
You know, I really shouldn't read vampire books seeing as how I don't like vampire stories. I need to stop doing that.
However, I will say Ron Perlman is a good reader. That shouldn't be surprising; he's always cast in a wide range of fantasy characters, yet I was still amazed at how much I enjoyed hearing him read.
I thought the story was slow to start and I was frustrated by the last few chapters. While I liked the old-fashioned horror story feel - not a lot of gory details while much is left to the imagination - I felt the pacing was off, the characters weren't the best, and I was really irked with the whole Kelly/Zack resolution.
These are pretty gross vampires, though. Blood worms? Ick! I liked that vampirism is a parasitic disease.

Too slow. I was audiobooking it and abandoned it after 3+ hours with very little happening.
