I'll first say that if you loved the first two books in the trilogy, you'll like this one. I can guarantee that much. The same level of action and fun is very much present here. And of course, there's more Ruger, one of my favorite pulp horror novel baddies. The only downfall? Large portions of the book are spent name dropping various horror celebrities. This is fun at first, but after a while I just kind of got a little impatient with the need to jump back from the action with Crow, Mike, and the other groups of main characters to the groups surrounding the horror celebs. It just felt rather unnecessary at times and part of me really wished that I'd known exactly how far to push forward because they just weren't that interesting. (Especially since they seemed rather invulnerable to harm, although that's a bit of a spoiler.) 
 That's really my biggest gripe with the novel, that too much time was spent name dropping. I feel like if Maberry had edited that down a bit, the book would have flowed far better. There's a lot here to like, especially if you're a fan of those great 80s horror flicks that pour on buckets of blood and try not to skimp on the horror. I'd warn some readers that there are some taboo deaths in this book (namely surrounding children), but hey- if you've read this far then you know that this is going to be in here because it was in the previous two books. 
 What really sets this series above some of the other books out there is that it doesn't give you the pretty, pretty vampires that you'll see in most of the vampire/horror series out there nowadays. Maberry intentionally set out to bring us the vampires of legend, the ones that aren't and weren't supposed to be pretty boys in poet blouses waxing over their undead fates. These are killers that will rip out your throat before they'd mope over their fates and if they do decide that you're their "type" well... let's just say that it isn't something that most people would willingly want to be a part of. It's just so dang refreshing to have someone go against the idea of "vampires as victims" that I can't help but love this book despite its flaws. 
 I just wish that the name dropping had been a little less, as this is what kept it from being a four star read for me and I have no doubt that I'm not the only one who was slightly irritated by this. But I'll say one thing: if Maberry does decide to go back into this universe and bring us a new entry in this series with new baddies and/or heroes, I'll definitely pick it up. Especially if it keeps the same narrator- this guy did a great job.
