What a read! I enjoyed this one and the tying of a case between Count Dracula and Sherlock Holmes.
With Dr. Watson and his wife, Mary, becoming vampires, there is a twist to this book, and I am interested to see if anything continues in future reads. But as this book continues, Mary goes into a darker mode, whereas Dr. Watson can continue much as before, with a few modifications to his daily diet.
There are some twists in this book that I do not feel I can share without giving away a spoiler, but this is worth a read! If you are a fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula, you will enjoy this deliciously chilling read!

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The Classified Dossier: Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula was such a fun book to jump into. I liked the twist of Watson and Mary becoming vampires. Then Count Dracula and Sherlock Holmes becoming acquaintances throughout the book was enjoyable. Mostly because of the bantering but they all really worked well together too.
On top of all that, Mary going into the dark side and becoming Maggie was an interesting twist. I did feel bad for Watson though because he really did love her. Then their whole journey of vampirism was different to. Again, she went to the dark route while Watson didn't. He had Holmes to keep him grounded and I'm glad that he did.
As for Holmes. He was pleasantly brilliant. With so many murders, betrayal, and unknown villain - Mariner Priest, every chapter was easy to devour. Or maybe it was just me. I wanted everyone to just get a run in with mysterious villain. Then with each clue, it was pretty easy to figure out who the villain was going to be.
In the end, Holmes and Count bamboozling a certain someone was easy to spot coming. It was still quite enjoyable to read everything though. I'm also wondering if there's going to be another adventure with everyone based on how this one ended. I would totally read it if there is one. If not, I will move on to the next Holmes adventure.

Not exactly the best supernatural Sherlock Holmes fanfic I've ever read, but still pretty fun!
