Department 19 by Will Hill - review

This thrilling book will keep you stuck to the sofa until you finish. A gripping, well thought out book, it will definitely leave you wanting to read more.

Department 19 is a secret vampire slaying organisation with only one objective: to slay all vampires. Jamie Carpenter is an Operator, killing them 24 hours a day. But something big is coming. Dracula – the first vampire who was thought to have died over 500 years ago – is rising and when zero hour comes he will be able to reign chaos over the world. Jamie and his friends, Kate, Matt and Larissa (his vampire girlfriend) are determined to stop him. When a new lead arrives, Jamie and Larissa are sent off to deepest Romania. But will Jamie be ready to sacrifice everything he believes in?

Find out in this epic horror book! The quick moving plot is great and the descriptions are vivid (you feel like you’re there). The scare factor is intense and it’s not a book you would want to read in bed. I found it a great read but I would recommend reading the other 3 first as it makes it loads clearer. Afterwards I also bought the other 3 to read.

Warning: it has a lot of swear words!
