I'm simply going to start by saying: this book freaked me out A LOT. Jitters during reading were pretty common. No surprise there because I am and always will be a huge chicken.
There was only one.. event.. where I absolutely freaked out and felt like cursing everyone who didn't warn me about the spiders. Seriously. I read that part right before I was supposed to go to sleep. Lesson: Do not read the final hundred pages if you loathe spiders and want to sleep afterwards - just saying.
But enough about the spiders! Audrey Rose! I remember thinking all the good things about her in the first installment and that hasn't changed one bit. She's still fun, feminist, true to herself and - above all - so brave.
As for Thomas? Skies know I didn't feel their blossoming romance half a year ago but Hunting Prince Dracula changed that a whole lot. I'm so grateful! I found myself rooting for them, feeling the tension, wishing they'd freaking give in already but not wanting them to at the same time.
Oh, the vibes! I was wondering how dark and eery this novel was going to get. With SJTR set in London, I was prejudiced -favorite city and all- so I needed to see how I'd feel in a setting I'm not at all familiar with. Answer: Loved it - again!
I'm still not over the spiders. I'm pointing at them for the bad thing. I can't help it. I loathe spiders. Those descriptions were ones I didn't like. I HATE SPIDERS OKAY. Of course I' m not even counting this as a real negative but you know. Rant.
The combination of the creepy castle, the bond between Audrey Rose and Thomas, the myths and stories Maniscalco incorporated in her story and her amazing - but very real and goosebumps-invoking - descriptions made Hunting Prince Dracula everything I wanted it to be!
5/5

If one simply looks to others for their opinions, they lose the ability to think critically for themselves. Progress would never be made if everyone appeared and thought and loved in the same manner.

Passion and annoyance were fire, and fire was alive and crackling with power. Fire breathed. Grief was a vat of quicksand; the more one struggled against it, the deeper it pulled one under.

Monsters could wear the smiles of friends while secreting away the rotten soul of the Devil in the darkest crevices of themselves.

(e traumatisert av d) og idk måten hu døde på va kinda disappointing. ingen kamp bare et sverd i magen med ein gang😒 forventa litt merr ette den build uppen😛
