Knight consistently provides an exciting combination of monsters and the capable military forces who combat them. I stumbled upon the author's zombie entries and enjoyed them thoroughly. Here he takes his formula into the realm of vampires. Containment Team 6 is a secret special operations group tasked with finding and eradicating covens led by centuries old undead, one that is now recruiting to take over The City of Angels as a precursor to the world. Action abounds which moves the novel along but I found this read like the second entry in a trilogy. There was a strange assumed familiarity to it that was distracting. Also the subplots of psychics and team members turned or turning dragged a bit. Still good fun and dedicated vampire fans may get more from the book than I.
