All I can really say is the novel was okay.  It wasn't the best I have ever read, but by no means, was it the worst book I have ever read.It started out strong, action packed, and lots of mystery about our young but well trained hero, Fitz.  But it slowly begin to fizzle out and get a little boring.  Just when I didn't think I was going to be able to make it through, it starts back getting exciting.I felt like I owed it to myself to finish this book because it was about my favorite subject: vampires.  But these vampires are a little different than the vampires from other stories.  These are considered "infected" just by getting any of the "rippers" (vampires) blood in the human body.  It reminded me a little of some zombie books, where if a zombie bites you, you're automatically infected.I do like the sense of humor that the characters of the book have, especially in dire situations.  I also enjoyed the point of view the author had on how the Church handled these situations.But it did get confusing with all the different followers of the different religion and how they fit into the story.I do wish there was more romance in it.  That's not to say there wasn't any, but it just touched upon it throughout the story, but when the hero and heroine finally decide to take a step it just kinda glosses over it like it wasn't that important.All in all, it wasn't the worst book I have read.  I enjoyed parts of the book and that is why I rated it okay.I also received this complimentary copy of this story, Vampire Road, in exchange for my review of it.
