About the Book: A painting of a very important woman in Vlad Dracula’s life – resurfaces. A woman who showed him utter devotion time, and time again. Just to escape in the night, not to be seen for ages… And, it seems, this affair is not yet dead.
My Opinion: It’s easy to write Dracula as a monster. But how does one write him as a sexist pig, and not even make it historically… wobbly? A very dull tale of art, and women hunting, spiced up by some myths of vampirism.

This is set in the past and the present. The reader gets a lot of Dracula's past history and how he came to be.

no star rating on this one either. i’m sorting through my shelves and trying to get a feel for what i will and won’t read. i enjoyed the first few books in this series and the sherlock holmes crossovers and saberhagen’s prose is amazing but i can just /tell/ i’m not going to enjoy this one.
