Pretty good start to a series but somewhat disjointed and the decisions made by the main character in the end goes largely unexplained. ( )

I loved the premise of this book: Knights, Nazis, Vampires and your better than average LAPD Homicide Captain. What's not to like? The execution wasn't as polished as I had hoped it would be. However, I do give the author(s) credit, there was a lot of ground to cover here. That much exposition is rarely a smooth ride. The book does labor in places but it fulfills its function well, setting up the second book beautifully. ( )
