Really enjoyed it - I think maybe even more than the first book. The vampire story felt more developed and hooked me more than the werewolf story from book one, and I think it also helped that we have already established the Stranger Times team so here we got to develop them a little more. I actually really appreciated the inclusion of Simon, and also seeing more depth to Bancroft besides simply being an insolent drunk man was interesting.

I also thought the resolution to the vampire "mystery" was really nicely done, and left just enough unresolved that I'm intrigued to see if any of it pops up again. 

Loved the hints at a larger, overriding menace coming into play too, and looking forward to seeing how that develops!
