Book Review: Vampire Zero by David Wellington

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I so badly wanted to give this 5 stars, but I just liked Jamison too much as a character. I know that the story is not 1st person POV, but I felt more connected to his character than any other. As dumb as it sounds, I felt that his character would have handle several situations much differently in his new mindset.
I don't want to go into heavy details and spoil the story, but the person he confided in...it didn't seem like his style to confide in anyone at all. I know with this series, as a person changes into the undead, they lose track of what they were when they were human. I just felt that Jamison's character was much stronger, had more knowledge, and was prepared for what he had taken on. When he desided to become a full blown monster, he would have the smarts to keep from getting caught.
The plus side for me is that slowly but surely, Laura is becoming just like him.
Enough about the characters, I get too attached to them. Over all the story was great and David's writing style is awesome. His stories are gripping and fast paced, and they keep you wanting more. He's writing is inspiring, and I can't wait to finish his next book and move on to read the rest of his writing.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
One man stood between them and us.
U.S. Marshal Jameson Arkeley—the country's foremost authority on vampires—taught police investigator and vampire fighter Laura Caxton everything she knows about monsters. After a bloody war visited upon Gettysburg by an army of vampires, Arkeley gave up his own life to save others. Except he didn't exactly die . . .
Arkeley accepted the curse and is now a vampire himself. What's worse, he's the savviest vampire ever—he knows all the tricks better than anyone. Caxton is now faced with the task of destroying him. But Arkeley knows all her tactics too; after all, he taught them to her. Caxton realizes she must finish Arkeley before he succeeds in his quest to exterminate his own family, one member at a time. But even more important, she has to prevent him from becoming a beast exponentially more dangerous—a Vampire Zero.
The author of 13 Bullets and 99 Coffins, David Wellington takes the Laura Caxton series to a whole new level in this action-packed third volume
