Reviews

[Colm · Rating 2 out of 5]

Fun vampire busting action. A bit too much narrator exposition for my taste. “I’m a man who lives for one thing… killing vampires” kinda carry on. Haven’t really consumed any Blade-related media before though so it was cool to get a feel for the character. Unfortunately, I didn’t really know who anybody in the story was so it didn’t have much by way of dramatic tension. 40 pages felt a bit long but overall not a bad read.
