Bloodline

The latest book I've read was pretty good. Title: Bloodline About: Dracula and World War 1. I do have to say that it took me a long time to finish. It wasn't because it was boring, but because it just didn't hook me.
Well here is the summary of the book:
The journal entries of Captain Quincey Harker, Lieutenant John Shaw, Lily Shaw, and Mary Seward tell a tale of vampiric connection by shared bloodline. John Shaw is a World War I communications officer in the trenches under Harker's command. A large and striking man, Harker demonstrates exceptional strength, an iron will, and a terrifying battlefield bloodlust. Despite John's growing reservations about Harker's ethics and perhaps even his sanity, he finds he cannot rid himself of his captain, even when sent home to convalesce after being gravely wounded. Harker, who joins him not long after, takes a decided interest in John's sister, Lily. When Lily is enticed from her home to become Harker's bride in Transylvania, John and Mary (John's nurse/fiancee), realize that this will not be a wedding sanctioned by God and set out to stop it. With the exception of time frame and journal format, there's little that's new here, and following a moody and leisurely buildup, the ending feels rushed. Still, a solid vampire story is always compelling, and this eminently readable book will find fans. Holly Koelling

I have to say, the end was really shocking, and you wouldn't expect it. I liked it over all, it was a good read and had many interesting things about how the war was in the trenches. If you have time you should try it out. It was not one of the best books I've read, but it was good.
