Género. Narrativa fantástica.
Lo que nos cuenta. En los campos de internamiento en los que viven un gran número de humanos la vida es muy dura y breve en muchos casos. Y es que en los años setenta los vampiros se revelaron al mundo y comenzaron su ataque, haciendo que la civilización entrase en un apocalipsis de violencia y terror. Veinte años después, los humanos parecen sobrevivir en pequeños asentamientos aislados y los “cosechadores” han construido un complejo de campos junto a una instalación hidroeléctrica de Nuevo Méjico, donde mantienen humanos para su consumo. Day es uno de ellos, y sobrevive día a día a la amenaza de los vampiros y a la de alguno de los otros prisioneros.

So another post apocalyptic read for me - I love these types of tales - in this case I was intrigued to read this because I don't often read a book with a vampiric plot - I tend to find them exceedingly dull. Sorry twilight fans!
Anyway I digress - this was far from dull. In a world where supernatural creatures are at the top of the food chain and some humans are kept on "cattle farms" with only a slow painful death in their future, Our protagonist, Day, must somehow find the will and the means to escape this fate - and hopefully save others from the same.
There is a somewhat slow start to this book, it is one of those that you have to stick with for a while before it "kicks in" and becomes more of a page turner, once it does however it becomes thoroughly enjoyable.
Characterisation is good and the world building is clever, if nothing new. Overall I would rate this as one of my "popcorn" reads - A fast and satisfying peek into another world.
