So this is three quarters of a 3 star book ending in a totally awesome 5 star finale.
Obviously huge historical inaccuracies, but this is YA romance mystery so who cares. Also a lot of them have to do with the feminism and LGTBQ representation so I'm all for it either way

Docked one star because I think it was a little longer than necessary.

Narration 5 stars
Another fun adventure with the young sleuths as they travel to the land of Dracula. The ending was fantastic, I cheered ! I can't wait to read their next adventure in America

Hunting Prince Dracula
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love these two so, so much. I can't say it enough. This book was very good, enjoyable and made me laugh. Although, school got in the way, as always. It kind of dragged on in the middle, but aside from that I loved it!

I only started this series because I wanted to see what Maniscalco was going to do with the Dracula legend. Unfortunately I was disappointed.
The creepiness level, which was the best part of book 1, was missing from this book. There are a few exciting instances, but I kept waiting for the plot to pick up.
The romance also didn’t work for me. I liked Audrey Rose and Thomas better in this book. They do have some rough patches, but they at least eventually communicate about them and work through their issues. I still think that Thomas is annoying and condescending, but we do get to see more of his vulnerable side, which did make me like him a little bit more.

Un poco menos de 4 en realidad.
Disfruté mucho de la lectura, pero no tanto como con el primer libro de la saga. Me costó engancharme y sentí que la primera parte era interminable.
En el libro anterior, la protagonista sufre un shock emocional (no daré spoilers) y eso se refleja al comienzo de esta segunda parte. Y eso está muy biem logrado; se plantean sus dudas y temores, sus inseguridades, pero... estsr detrás de su narración en primera persona en esos momentos se me hizo insufrible. Me daban ganas de golpearla. No puedo juzgar su reacción ante lo que vivió porque es humana en sus debilidades (como todos), pero me resultó terriblemente frustrante como lectora.
Supongo que no era lo que espeeaba.
Sentí que el misterio no cobró importancia hasta muy tarde en la trama, si bien estuvo presente desde el inicio. Es como si el foco de atención narrativo estuviera siempre en el sitio equivocado. La trama avanzaba, pero se le daba importancia a todo, salvo al eje de lo que yo buscaba en la historia (el misterio y su investigación).
Como algo también muy personal, creo que quería hallar algo similar al libro previo, donde se buscaba a un asesino en particular que era Jack el destripador. Acá se habla sobre temas relacionados con Drácula, pero no es que buscan a alguien detrás de esa figura (como el título hace presuponer).
No sé... no fue un mal libro, tampoco fue lo que esperaba o lo que quería. Me sentí traicionada y engañada xD

as is the case with every kerri maniscalco book, be prepared for this to go wildly off the rails at the end, but as long as you keep that in mind this book is FUN
