A review by atarbett
The Blood Gospel by James Rollins
4.0
I have mixed feelings about this story.
It's very exciting. But then, I expect nothing less from James Rollins. But at times, the genre blending was jarring. It felt like I was reading two separate books, but the same story. With the vampire aspects, there were a few times that I felt like laughing, and I don't think that was intended. Not that I don't love vampire stories! I do! But I don't expect vampires with James Rollins novels. It felt like the book was pitched like this: "Ooh! You know what would make history-centered thriller novels BETTER? VAMPIRES!"
So, that's all that kept it being 5 stars. Even still, I highly recommend it and I will rabidly consume any and all books in the this series.
And I will probably still laugh at the vampire bits.
