The Fall by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan

I found this book remarkably easy to pick up, even though it has been a year since I read The Strain. Things have gone from bad to worse. While a group of people working together joins together to fight vampires and get their hands on the Occido Lucem, a rare, expensive book that's conveniently up for auction, and which may hold the key to human survival, the forces of the Master grow ever stronger. This book is clearly a middle-of-a-trilogy book: it starts in the middle and runs through without much final resolution. Still, I'm looking forward to the next installment.
