For me, however, the book seemed rather lengthy with a few dragged-out scenes, I also wasn’t a big fan of the main antagonist either. The book had all of the antagonists as vampires which I didn’t really like, but it was fine because it is just the characters which doesn't matter that much. Their being vampires did give them a lot of strength and their necessary antagonist edge but I wish they maybe chose something else for the antagonist. Otherwise, though the main idea for the book was really good with the secret government agency that lives in our world but we just don’t know that they are here. It also had a good amount of action throughout the majority of the book and that was a good upside but then it just went straight back to boring stuff for a while making me want the action, even more, when it came.
The fact that there were three main characters was nicer as well because more action could happen. It would switch back and forth from the Department 19 group, to Dracula, and to Frankenstein which in some cases would be nice because now something new was going on. However, sometimes it would be some big action seen, and then it just switched to a different character to follow currently or tell more backstory on. I actually skipped a whole chapter because the scenes when it cut to Frankenstein were kind of boring and I was just getting into a good action part when it cut halfway and when to that so I just got back to what I was reading.
Otherwise, it was a decent book, if you like a lot of bad and forth with action and then nothing while a lot of detail to give you an image in your head with cliffhangers, then this could be an alright read for you and a good way to pass time. However, I probably would not recommend this book the most people that I know because I feel like they could find something better.… (més)
