The Night Eternal by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan
I enjoyed The Strain trilogy for what it was. It's action-packed and there are some great characters, and it really did feel like a novelization of some nonexistant Guillermo del Toro vampire movie. However, it seemed in the first two novels that Messrs. del Toro and Hogan wanted the vampires to have a strictly scientific explanation, akin to Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend," but in the final book it took a huge turn towards the religious. Which is odd because crucifixes have no effect on these vampires, but given their origin as told in The Night Eternal, an aversion to crucifixes would easily fit. Final verdict: not as good as The Passage, way better than Twilight.
