"I figure the end of the world just ripped off humanity's mask, and now the true face of mankind is out there grinning like a mad skull in the moonlight."
Coburn has woken up from a five year slumber to find himself in a zombie apocalypse. He is a vampire. He's hungry, nocturnal, and pissed off. He needs blood, but theirs won't do. He must find human survivors and protect his food supply.
I forgot how much I love Wendig's writing. I was immediately sucked in from the very first chapter. I felt like I couldn't turn the pages quick enough as I found myself fully invested in how one vampire was going to survive in a world of zombies. This book was bloody, action-packed, crude, and hilarious.
Coburn was an asshole you either come to love or hate. I, for one, loved him. He had a vulgar personality and every word out of his mouth was an insult or sarcastic remark (it me 💁🏾♀️). His character developed so well as he met a group of humans who were wary of traveling with him, but struck a deal - they would supply him with blood as long as he protected them along their journey. The way he acted like a dick to them, but deep down, started caring for them was endearing.
This isn't your typical vampire story, but I recommend this book to everyone who would love an action-packed apocalyptic vampire vs. zombies story full of crude humour.
