Author: D.S. Crowe Title: You, Dracula Series: I, Dracula Genre: Historical Fiction; Dracula Rate: 4/5 Finished second book in D.S.

About the Book: Dracula, cursed from birth, grew up not only loveless, but outright hated, and thus became a cruel, hard man.

Author: Georgette Kaplan Title: Ex-Wives of Dracula Series: – Genre: LGBT; Vampires Pages: 358 Rate: 2/5 | Goodreads Oh boy. Read Ex-Wives of Dracula by Georgette Kaplan. A sort of modern take on Dracula searching for Mina through centuries. Here, for instance, she’s just finishing school, and so, entire book is pretty much set around it. About the Book: School isn’t exactly a picnic to most, if not all. But it can get worse than bad. Your best friend can start bullying you for the sake of popularity. The same one over whom you question your sexuality. And when that rumor gets out too… Still ..read more

Author: John Peyton Cooke Title: Out for Blood Series: – Genre: Vampires; LGBT Pages: 313 Rate: 4/5 | Goodreads One of my dusties, Out for Blood by John Peyton Cooke, as per that ever growing desire to tidy away the home library. It was alright, had its ups, had its downs. About the Book: Chris was going to die. No chance to survive his illness, no future to hope for. So when a lovely vampire showed up on his doorstep, he gave his consent near immediately. Not realizing that what seems to be too good to be true, might, at the very least, have extra clauses he should’ve asked about… But then ag ..read more

Author: Scott W. Cook Title: The Dead Travel Fast Series: Immortal Dracula 1 Genre: Mystery; Vampires Pages: 418 Rate: 4/5 | Goodreads Finished an unexpectedly interesting, but horribly slow paced book, called The Dead Travel Fast by Scott W. Cook. First in what I hope will be nice, long series. Promising start. About the Book: Veronica moved to seaside town for inspiration, as she is an aspiring horror author to-be. But as things remain stagnant, young woman begins doubting her future vision. Just to end up in the most gruesome eye of the storm, when the peace and calm of the town melts away ..read more

Author: Isabel Canas Title: Vampires of El Norte Series: – Genre: Historical Fiction; Vampires Pages: 371 Rate: 3/5 | Goodreads Treated myself to a newer release, Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Canas, a historical fiction book with vampires. Sadly it wasn’t very good. About the Book: Nestor’s life upended in a single night. Dreaming of his own land, his own home, he and his love, Nena, walked out at night in search of mysterious lights that’d mark buried treasures. Instead they found death in a shape of monstrous and toothy grey beast. Having watched his beloved get mauled, Nestor took her hom ..read more

Authors: Tracy Wolff Title: Crave Series: Crave 1 Genre: YA; Vampires Pages: 592 Rate: 3/5 | Goodreads Just a smidge dusty book from TBR pile that was somehow always in the way. Crave by Tracy Wolff. It was okay, but very, very young-adult, and seemingly amalgamation of a bunch of tried and tested tropes. About the Book: Familiar tale of a girl, Grace, whose entire loving family dies in an accident one day, leaving her stranded and thus, reliant on very distant family to whom she must travel. In this case, it’s a boarding school, a castle somewhere far away, atop a mountain in Alaska. Soon, of ..read more

Author: Kerrelyn Sparks Title: Be Still my Vampire Heart Series: Love at Stake 3 Genre: Vampires; Paranormal Romance Pages: 372 Rate: 2/5 | Goodreads Uf, I don’t know why I’ve decided to do this.

Forbidden love sparks, blooms, and so on. Emma Wallace is out to avenge her family. Angus MacKay is out to stop the hunter who is killing the good guys. But how to even begin convincing her of such concept as good guy vampires ..read more

Author: Anne Malcom Title: Deathless Series: The Vein Chronicles 2 Genre: Vampires; Romance Pages: 350 Rate: 3/5 | Goodreads Read second book in The Vein Chronicles by Anne Malcom, called Deathless. Sadly, especially in compare to the way I enjoyed the first book, this one was a disappointment. Poorly written characters, and all that jazz I so often talk about… About the Book: Seems like all the truths Isla was certain about in her life have decided to become utter, and terribly annoying lies. Blood that was supposed to kill her is now her only sustenance. Man she loved is… Well, has bad secre ..read more

Author: P.N. Elrod Title: Bloodcircle Series: Vampire Files 3 Genre: Urban Fantasy; Vampires Pages: 202 Rate: 3/5 | Goodreads I don’t always know why I continue reading certain series. It’s not that they’re good, or captivating, nor did I invest so much time into them that it’d be upsetting to quit. Hence I’ve read Bloodcircle by P.N. Elrod, third book in the Vampire Files series. Mediocre. About the Book: Jack remains determined to find the vampire who turned him. This time the lead brings him to a murder and funeral scene, where an elderly lady who had no right to have this many enemies – ha ..read more
