The Strain

I found this book for a couple of bucks at Half Priced Books a while ago, and many people said it was good, so I got it. I liked it. It's a SciFi thriller, but mostly a thriller by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan (seriously, reviews acted like I knew who those guys were. I don't). A doctor with the CDC is called in when an airplane arrives at JFK with all passengers dead.

Okay, it's a vampire thriller, and because this one doesn't have the main character as a brooding, fwoppy haired love interest, I like it. Vampires are a plague (literally) to be destroyed, and the CDC doctor and a former professor have to figure out how to save New York. It's the first book in a trilogy, and as long as they don't extend it to a fourth, I'm excited about this series. I'm sorry, the Twilight Books were great (except for that last tragic one), but the first movie was so bad it made my head hurt, and now the New Moon mania is driving me nuts. So go books that don't have sympathetic vampires!
