“Both medical thriller and science fiction, this fast-paced, captivating modern vampire story is enriched with biology and history . . . . Entrancing throughout.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Okay, let’s clear up some myths about Vampires.
First of all, you won’t see me using the V-word much. In the Night Watch, we prefer the term Parasite Positives, or Peeps for short.
After a chance encounter with a mysterious woman one night, Cal Thompson’s life is changed forever. He’s been infected with an insidious parasite. The good news: he’s only a carrier—still sane, without the worst of the symptoms. The bad news: he’s infected all his former girlfriends—and now they’ve turned into what Cal calls peeps. The rest of us call them vampires. And it’s Cal’s job to hunt them down before they create even more of their kind. . . .

I love this book. I've read it many times over the last few years. Easily the best vampire type story out there in my opinion.
Awesome
I read this book about a year ago and loved it. I fell in love with the story. I am going to start reading the second one but I loved the story so much I am sad that the characters are not in the second book in the peeps series. Still I loved the book

I love this book. I have read it several times. It's such a fresh and creative new take on vampires. And the chapters on parasites were fun to read as well. A very well done book and must read!
