Department 19 – Book Review

Aiden (13) was sent the Department 19 trilogy a while ago and what with the school holidays and spending weeks at his dad’s, he’s still not finished the first book! He is enjoying it though and he’s hoping to get it finished and move onto the next one once school starts again on Thursday.

He’s enjoying the story and recommends I read it as we tend to enjoy the same kind of books (The Hunger Games, Harry Potter and the Gone series to name a few) so when I’ve finished my current book I’m going to read Department 19.

The story centres on 14 year old Jamie. His mother gets kidnapped and he gets dragged into Department 19, the governments most secret agency. It provides him with the tools needed to find his mother and kill the vampires that are trying to kill him.

Some of the reviews on Amazon say that it’s quite gory and a bit more grown up than the regular teen vampire novels which is probably why Aiden’s enjoying it!

I love vampire stories so I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into this one 🙂
