This is a fun mash-up of Sherlock Holmes and vampires, together with some Lovecraft thrown in

If you like the sillier side of vampire fiction and aren't bugged by historical inaccuracies, you'll love it! I tend to prefer darker vampire fiction and study both Sherlock Holmes and the Victorian period as a whole, so unfortunately it wasn't for me. This book was not researched very well at all.

I absolutely hated how all of the characters from Dracula were treated. I was expecting Dracula to be the villain, but the opposite was true. When it was revealed who was behind the scheme it was all very uninspired. Felt like a series of loosely connected stories with a very abrupt ending. Wasn't a fan of this.

In an interesting mashup where worlds collide, Sherlock and Watson are called upon to rescue Mina, Count Dracula's dear wife, from kidnappers. Allied with a species of man he'd only suspected to exist, Sherlock does what he does best but Dr. Watson pays the most horrible of prices. Well done!
