Lazy
If I was to summarise this in one word, it would be "lazy".
Most of it is written as "journal entries" but no real attempt is made to make them sound like journals let alone journals written by different people. There's no attempt to give a period atmosphere, and some blatant anachronisms ("security guard" being the most blatant). Scenes are repeated in different viewpoints for no real reason. Information about vampires is dumped in one go by a convenient NPC.
