Earlier this year, I read the historical horror novel The Last Night to Kill Nazis by David Agranoff and today I'll post my review of the book.
Description from Goodreads
The Fuhrer is Dead and the clock is ticking… The Last Night to Kill Nazis is an emotional rollercoaster of adventure, terror and revenge that explores one of the world's most evil events through the lens of a horror novel. An entertaining and enlightening novel that is Inglorious Basterds meets Interview with a Vampire. April 30th, 1945. The Fuhrer has shot himself. Goebbels is drafting a surrender and the slow process for justice begins. This starts a clock ticking for Noah Sammovich, a former army ranger turned OSS secret agent. Only a month earlier he helped to liberate a death camp in central Germany. The trauma of seeing the final solution enacted on his people has convinced him that he must act before the surrender. His mission -- kill as many of the top Nazi leadership as he can before peace becomes official. The SS hatches a plan for 150 top leaders to escape from a secret airstrip in the alps and form a New Fatherland in occupied Manchuria. Noah has a plan and a secret weapon, a creature of the night with a thirst for blood and the ability to manipulate the psychic trauma of the pain they caused.
My Thoughts on the Book
I'm usually a bit wary of historical fiction, especially set during WWII, due to historical inaccuracies, but as The Last Night to Kill Nazis has a vampire-theme to it, I felt I could handle the potential inaccuracies, which I did. It was a bit entertaining to say it the least, using a vampire as a weapon of sorts, against the Nazis in my opinion. Let's face it, the Nazis had it coming, just saying.
Fair enough, the book is a bit over the top at times, but it's entertaining, engaging, and with plenty of action and bloodshed. The downsid with this book is that I felt it would have benefited with a proofread due to various typos, and some fine-tuning in general.
The Last Night to Kill Vampires was a fun read though and had a good premise.
