This story seems like what I would imagine a pretty typical vampire story to be. "What I would imagine" is a key phrase here, as I don’t really read much vampire fiction, the odd bribe to read Stephenie Meyer excepted. A bunch of semi-amateur vampire hunters go into a closed off zone where a nest of them have been discovered. For some reason vampire hunters get first dibs at them before the government levels the place with explosives. I don’t know why, but it does lead to certain plot twists that could not have happened without that caveat. One of the hunters is an old pro, the rest are relatives of vampire victims claiming blood. They fight. Mostly interesting for the interplay between the various hunter characters, but still about average overall.
