Armageddon: Fall of the Vampires

by Chisto Healy

In a near future vampires are society. They live in happy homes and work everyday jobs and live as we do now - or at least they did until their food supply began to dwindle. Now the entire population is falling to starvation. In a last ditch effort to save themselves and preserve their race the government releases a television broadcast informing the public that it was a government created myth that vampires couldn't sustain themselves by feeding off of other vampires. In an instant the world is sent into a cannibalistic frenzy while the government moves behind the massive distraction to roundup the last remaining human animals to harvest for their own preservation. In the midst of all this, a sixteen year old boy who lost his parents in a hunting expedition is the only hope and protection that his six year old sister has in this world gone mad.

Non stop action

Non stop adrenaline rush of a story that will rip your heart out. I've never read a vampire story quite like this before and I loved every moment.
Chaos, desperation, loyalty, friendship, terror, family and a will to survive is something all of the main characters share as they try to keep each other alive.
If you want to read a unique vampire story then this is the book for you.

This was perhaps the craziest book I've read by Chisto, but I mean this in a good way. Vincent is an easy character to root for. Alyssa is probably my favorite character. A six-year-old girl who quickly learns how to defend herself is a character I can root for. Armageddon is quite the read in a post-apocalyptic world where vampires can sustain themselves by eating each other.

The catch is there is no food to speak of other than cannibalism. Vincent bumps into other humans who will either help him or try to eat him. I found myself turning the pages when someone new was introduced. I was waiting for them to turn on him and try to eat him, haha. This is a story that gives a unique angle to the classic vampire trope.

I must confess I'm not the biggest fan of vampires, but since Chisto wrote it I might as well give it a try. I'm happy to report that I was not disappointed. It's a long read but one I'm glad I stood with!
