The story starts of with Julian Carpenter, being killed by a large man in a black suit using a gun. His son, Jamie, was then attacked by the fabled 'vampire' who wants revenge on Julian. The large guy suddenly returned and threatened the vampire. The vampire, who is called Alexandru Rusmanov then backed off and leave the house but kidnapping Marie Carpenter, Jamie's mother in the process . This is where it all started. The large guy revealed himself as Viktor Frankenstein.

Jamie is recruited into a 'Classified' department of the UK government, Department 19. It is revealed that Department 19 exist for only one reason, to hunt and kill vampires. It was revealed that Alexandru is one of the most powerful vampires in the world, the Third Vampire. Jamie then started all his training with one thing in his mind, to save the only family he had left, his mother.

Things got quite complicated as he met Larissa, a young girl vampire who is under Alexandru before.
She tells him she really repented on what she had done and is now helping the department in hunting down vampires.

RESPONSE
Like I wrote before, this is a great example of don't judge a book by its cover hehe. At first I thought it was just a somekind of military novel. I didn't want to read it at first but my friend insisted and in the end I was more excited about this series than my friend haha. It is really a great book as it was my first reading about a militsry-fantasy-teen kind of novel. The writer intelligently mixed normal teenagers problems into the story-line which is quite interesting, considering the serious situation of life and death throughout the book. Overall, the story is great and the final twist*where Frankenstein was killed* added spice into it haha. I rate this material 8.9/10.
