Exhumed by S.J. Patrick was absolutely amazing! He takes a unique turn on vampires and spins an incredible story around it.
The facts that you get multiple views of all people involved was a great experience. I thought it might get confusing while in reality, it made stuff so much more clear!
This is also not a story with lovely vampires that keep their humanity and try to live amongst people. These are creatures with barely any humanity left in them. They kill, they torture and only have eye for their own existence. They know no guilt or sorrow and they just go for the kill when they can.
Except for David that is! He desperately tries to cling to his humanity the moment he figures out he is changing and it makes it all so much more interesting.
All in all, I LOVED this book and I cannot wait to get my hands on the sequel! This is an ideal book if you are looking for a horror Story that features the monstrous kind of vampires!
