In this New York Times bestselling sequel to Kerri Maniscalco's haunting #1 debut Stalking Jack the Ripper, bizarre murders are discovered in the castle of Prince Vlad the Impaler, otherwise known as Dracula. Could it be a copycat killer...or has the depraved prince been brought back to life?
Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper's true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth has no choice but to flee London and its memories. Together with the arrogant yet charming Thomas Cresswell, she journeys to the dark heart of Romania, home to one of Europe's best schools of forensic medicine...and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.
But her life's dream is soon tainted by blood-soaked discoveries in the halls of the school's forbidding castle, and Audrey Rose is compelled to investigate the strangely familiar murders. What she finds brings all her terrifying fears to life once again.
BOOK REVIEW:
Disclaimer: I received an ARC in exchange for an HONEST review.
I have always been interested with paranormal, serial killers, mystery in general that is why I love Kerri Maniscalco's Stalking Jack The Ripper. Stalking Jack The Ripper is morbid yet fascinating at the same time. This time around Ms. Maniscalco did it again. She gave us more of this gloomy and morbid world. She captivates the readers with her amazing storytelling. Her writing is very descriptive that you feel like you are part of the story.
In Hunting Prince Dracula, we are in a state of constant suspense with the deadly and macabre mystery. We are transported to a different place which is Romania. Home to one of Europe's best schools of forensic medicine...and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.
My absolute favorite part of this series is the characters and romance. I love their witty bantering. I love how charming Cresswell is and how brave and determine Wadsworth is. Despite her PTSD, she has gone a long way in this book and her development makes her a remarkable heroine. The setting is incredible. The author turns this creepy old castle into this mysterious and beautiful place which draws in. My only problem with this book is that is could have used some editing down. The middle was just draggy and unnecessary. But I still 100% recommend this book.
If you enjoy suspense, thrillers, mysteries, gothic horror, and romance, I encourage you to pick this series up!
