The Strain

  It's Ephraim Goodweather's "perfect" weekend off work, and he's spending it the best way he possibly could; with his son, Zack.
  That is, until he gets a call from work. Apparently a plane has been found with all of its passengers....dead. Dr. Goodweather is stumped for the cause of death. There's no clues as to how this happened....and the fact that the corpses suddenly vanish doesn't make the case simpler.

  It was somewhat of a relief to read a book about vampires that don't sparkle. Hogan and del Toro have written an epic apocalypse book that is original but also familiar. I loved how it switched points of view, giving the readers a better understanding of what was going on (and of course wrenching our hearts so that we couldn't put the book down!).
