Pulled a random book from my "to read pile" that someone recommended to me once. Quite probably someone in this thread?
The Company of Death.
Postapocalypse, with zombies and vampires, but it turns out it's apparently also the
actual Biblical apocalypse and the four horsemen are around. Book's named after the anthropomorphic personification/horseman of Death.
Mixed reception so far. It's fairly short, and I'm halfway through, and it alludes to
a lot of worldbuilding that I'm fairly sure won't actually matter much for this book and feels very sequel-baity. There's shadowy vampire organisations that have existed for hundreds of years, and the other three horsemen, and there's the last city of survivors on the island of Manhattan, and different types of zombies, and people are researching a zombie cure, and also there's intelligent androids. And yet, the book is mostly a roadtrip with death and a lone survivor of a failed vampire extermination operation. So it all feels very kitchen sink for a book of about 300 pages. Between that and the plot that doesn't feel very tense and the rather workmanlike prose, I'm not convinced this book is actually going anywhere. I'm halfway through and it's only just about at the point where the world and plot are outlined.
For the not-very-tense plot...

Death has lost his powers and since it happened at the worst possible moment, the main character has become an intelligent kind of half-undead, neither a brainless zombie nor able to die. Death owes a favour, so is taking the main character overland back to Manhattan, where she wants to deliver some important information about new anti-human weapons the vampires have developed. But because the cast of characters is tiny (one vampire, one human, one gynoid, one not-zombie and Death) and most of them can't really die anyway, we're not really seeing an impact of death losing his powers. It's all very low-key and relaxed for what should feel like an apocalyptic-scale event.
