Summary
Vampires have always lived in Eastern Europe. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, they began to spread across the continent, then the world, turning whole populations into vampires - or human cattle. Having overrun India, the far East, and the great cities of North and South America, the forces of Night are now spreading into the countryside to consolidate their conquest.
In a town on the New Jersey shore, the vampires have just arrived, along with their human henchmen, the cowboys, who round up human cattle for the overlords in return for the promise of eternal life - later. For the vampires wish only a few of their own kind to rule, and feed. The rest of humanity are to be helpless herds, the source of the blood of life.
Falsely accused of abuse, Father Joe is drunk in a basement waiting for the end. His superior has betrayed the local Catholic congregation and become a vampire. Sister Carolyn has become a formidable killer of cowboys and vampires. Joe's niece, escaped from the conquest of New York, has made her way south to find him. Brought together by Rabbi Zev Wolpin, who is shaken by the vampires’ fear of the cross and holy water, they plan their resistance. Against all odds, they discover that there just might be a way for humanity to really fight back. But first they will have to kill the vampire king of New York.

SUCH A WELCOME SURPRISE
I purchased this book because, essentially, I'll buy anything with vampires in it. To say that I was surprised is an understatement. It is fantastic, better even, in my humble opinion, than Salem's Lot, which I read at least twice a year.
Incredible stuff.

Post-Apocalypse Vampire Horror
This book leaves me longing for more from the adventures of the protagonists. The internal struggles of the characters are just as gripping as the action.

Great, classic vampire story
Really enjoyed this book. A proper vampire story with proper vampires - no sparkles in sight.
Narration is good although his female voices aren't always distinct so knowing who's speaking is often more about the language used rather than the voice.

Not the Netflix story but still enthralling
Didn't expect to be as good as it was. Made me want to watch 90s Blade all over again!

Wrapped up too quickly
Nothing to fault with the performance from the narrator, but the story itself wrapped up far too quickly for me, and felt rushed. The balance between moving the plot forward and developing the characters was skewed a bit too much towards the former and not the latter, meaning that the story moved along at a fast pace with a cast of characters that didn’t feel fleshed out enough for the listener to care about one way or the other.

A little corny, but enjoyable
I love vampire stories and this was pretty good. A little corny in places but the characters were likeable and Lacey is kick ass! A good just let it wash over you book. Enjoyed it - especially as it was free!

Not the TV show but so what.
Very different to the TV show but very interesting anyway. Describes a new world order and read into that what you will.

Good book, a hard listen if you are Irish
Decent story for the first 2/3. Falls into some predictable tropes near the end. Hard listen if you are Irish, not the narrators fault!

Great Vampire Story
I really enjoyed this and will read it again, most likely. It feels surprisingly dated for a book that's less than 20 years old, though; I can't imagine being shocked at the concept of a priest accepting his gay niece, or being horrified by the word "dyke". I also didn't need the sprinkling of Islamophobia towards the end--it always makes me raise an eyebrow when a book takes potshots at Judaism and Islam, then sets up Catholicism as the most "true" religion. If a cross repels vampires, so should a Star of David.
However, the setting, plot, and characters were all very good, and the vampires themselves were pretty scary. As others have said, this is a book in the tradition of "Salem's Lot"--personally, I preferred that novel, but I imagine if you liked that you'll like this too.
