Last week they invaded Manhattan. This week they will destroy the world. The vampiric virus is spreading and soon will envelop the globe. Amid the chaos, Eph Goodweather—head of the Centers for Disease Control's team—leads a band out to stop these bloodthirsty monsters. But it may be too late. Ignited by the Master's horrific plan, a war has erupted between Old and New World vampires. Caught between these warring forces, powerless and vulnerable, humans find themselves no longer the consumers but the consumed. At the center of the conflict lies an ancient text that contains the vampires' entire history . . . and their darkest secrets. Whoever finds the book can control the outcome of the war and, ultimately, the fate of us all.

I loved this book! I couldn't stop reading and I can't wait to read the third. If you like vampires, you should read these books. Guillermo Del Toro knows how to write awesome stories.
This one felt a little more enjoyable than the first one - del Toro feels more comfortable with writing for the page as opposed to the screen, and it was interesting to see the story of a society slowing sliding into an apocalypse (rather than the usual post- or pre-apocalyptic stories one tends to get).
