This book should come with a warning, something like "You will not be able to put it down until you turn the last page". It's high on a "sleep deprivation" and fun scale.
The Holmes&Watson are very "canonical"and very original at the same time. All the elements of the canon are there and they work very well in a paranormal setting.
I thought this was going a sort of Sherlock Holmes vs Dracula sort of story but I was wrong and got more than I bargained. The Count Dracula is a sort of side characters but I got plenty of vampires (and some elements taken from other historical horror series).
The author did an excellent job in mixing the different world and making them fresh and original.
The plot is complex, there's plenty of unexpected twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a highly entertaining story that I strongly recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I’ve read Sherlock Holmes before, anything about it and this book seems promising. I don’t know what to say about the Count Dracula apparition, it was done before, I generally don’t like book mashes but it’s Halloween, so how can vampire miss from the collection reviews?
The book is super based on Dracula by Bram Stoker, and I feel like I’ve read this story before because I had, I’ve read the classic and this is just a twist off of it.
Not actually my vibe.
I didn’t liked it, I don’t wanna put books on the blog that I’ve hated reading but this one was on my Halloweenie reads list.
Guys, I’ve waited for your recommends, I STILL AM.
Don’t be shy.
But don’t read this… The cover is cool.
I gotta stop being a sucker for the covers…

Legends from two different worlds join together against a common villain. Surprisingly that villain isn’t Dracula. I went into this first installment of The Classified Dossier with expectations because you can’t keep calm after hearing Dracula and Sherlock Holmes TOGETHER!!
I’m so glad the story turned out to be an entertaining one - mixed with Holmes’s curiousness and Dracula’s morally grey vibes! The atmosphere the story set is so apt that this reads almost like the gothic original. Not gonna spoil anything, but the murder mystery type story was a fun one to read!! I believe Holmes is in the second part but his partner in crime differs in each book!

The most bizarrely enjoyable book I've read in a long while. The plot is utterly ridiculous and yet so well written it somehow works, and perhaps because of the sheer ridicuousness it was a joy to read.
