Kind of boring despite being action packed.
It started captivating but, I got bored in the middle. Hence the three stars. Still, a good story overall.

A mix
Pace was too slow and not eventful enough. Interesting concept but just not executed well enough to hold my interest.
I was excited to read this and dive into more supernatural Holmes retellings after reading the Cthulhu Casebooks series by James Lovegrove. Unfortunately, this book was just okay. The start really gripped me, with the introduction of Dracula and the existence of vampires being revealed, along with Watson being suddenly turned into a vampire. Exciting stuff! But Dracula and Mina are only in the book at the start and the very end.
All that stuff in the middle of Holmes and Watson going on seemingly random adventures wasn't very exciting. I know it was supposed to be planting the pieces towards the bigger mystery but it just didn't do it for me. It felt more like an action book than a true detective story. I don't know, it just didn't quite capture the narrative voice of the Holmes books the same way Lovegrove's series did. I might read the next book but I'm not kicking down the door for it.
