I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Imagine going to the hospital with your wife, on what's supposed to be the happiest day of your life, the day your child is born. Now imagine hearing screams from down the hall and running to see what was going on. Imagine seeing your wife lying dead on the table, with something at her neck.
Here is a man who has lost everything. Only he finds out that his child was not killed, but turned into the very thing that has killed his wife. He makes the decision to hide his baby by day and feed him by night. The story is written as a memoir and goes through certain events that leads him to where he is now.
I really liked the way that this was written. It was an interesting story that I actually read in one setting because I was completely hooked. This is the third work of Patterson's that I've read and I've loved every one of them, this being no exception.
I also loved that Emma, from Blood Calling was in this story.
This is a great vampire story, one that will hook you and keep you until the end. I highly recommend it and give it a 4 out of 5!

This definitely turned out to be quite the little horrific vampire gem. It opens in such a great way,
"This is the night I finally kill my baby", and you can't help but be a bit sucked into what's going to happen next. This turns into a short tale of a how a man's life drastically changes on the night his wife gives birth to their child, and how in a quick whirlwind event changed his life and his child's life forever. As short as this story was I feel the author did a great job making you feel for the main character, and I really did feel terrible for him.
It's not an entirely new look on vampires but there are a few differences that make this fairly interesting. I see that there are several other books in this series so I'll probably end up downloading them as well.
I certainly recommend this to those who would like a short creepy little read, or if you need a vampire novel that isn't filled with fluff.
