I am a huge fan of vampire books so I was excited to have the chance to read this one. I liked that this book was a little different than some of the books out there in this genre. The vampires is this story are not romanticized, but they are humans who have been infected and turned deadly..out to kill and feed off any humans they encounter with perhaps a few other plans a little more hidden.  Fitz is a crusader, trained to fight the vampires who are called "rippers" in the story. Fritz finds himself ordered by the Pope to bring back the people of St. Johns who will be exposed to a swarm of these Rippers. If he fails in this he will be condemned by the church and in this task there are several hurdles and redirections that he must face as he asseses what he should do, including the realization that there may be more than a few heretics in the midst at St. Johns' making his task diffucult.The only downfall to this book is that the book slowed down toward the middle, but I still enjoyed the different spin to this book.I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my review.
