This is the story of Josh. He is a serial prison escapee who boasts that
no prison can hold him, so he is sent to the impenetrable Pod C of
Pittman Penitentiary. Now locked in with some of the worst gang members
and murderers on record, he must keep his eyes open and his wits about
him. Then one of the gangs starts a riot and all too soon he realises
that they are not alone. Something is hunting them down one by one and
it is hungry. Can Josh keep it together enough to survive, and escape
with his life?I really enjoyed this. It was certainly a different take on the 'been there, done that' vampire novel. I liked the idea that it was set in an impenetrable prison, kit made for some very claustrophobic scenes! Josh was the perfect anti-hero - trying to save his own neck plus the neck of a woman who shouldn't have been there in the first place. The story had shades of Dracula in it, with Norris being the head vampires 'familiar' ala Renfield. It was a great story with plenty of pace and action - but the ending fell a little flat. This was a shame really as the rest of the book was so good. I would still be happy to recommend it however.
