I absolutely loved this. The book drags you in and doesn't let you go.
The premise was quite original too, and it seemed like a sort of SAS story for kids. The main protagonist is a great character and has been very well developed. The pace of the book is quick and exciting and overall this is a very fresh and original book.
Another book, with a similar theme is the Dusk Society by campfire graphic novels. If you enjoyed Department 19, then you'll love that book. In the meantime, I can't wait for a sequel to Department 19. :)

Finally, a book with Vampires being downright evil, full of violence, gore and action. Department 19 is an altogether more grown-up horror/action title, and pulls away excellently from the Young Adult market's existing Vampire Romance titles, with an extra dash of classic literature and historical settings and references to add to the plots depth.

(What's this?)
Fourteen year old Jamie's life changes irrevocably as he is plunged into the secret world of Department 19, a.k.a. Blacklight and finds out his family's connection to it. Plenty of drama and slayings. Although another book based on the eternally (!) popular vampire theme, I felt that this book will appeal equally to boys and girls for a change because it incorporates high-tech gadgetry, lots of action, has just a touch of romance and is written from a male point of view. I am not sure that the Frankenstein element helped draw the reader into the story but overall it was very readable considering the age group that it is aimed at. I would recommend this for older teens due to the graphic description of some killings and the horror.

Fantastic!
A fantastic book that is going to be huge. This is kind of a cross between 'Stormbreaker' and 'Twilight' but with less of the mushy stuff. Read more
