5.0

I didn’t realize until after I had already started reading this that it was book 3.5 of a series! I was pleasantly surprised as I kept reading and found that I didn’t need the back story of the other three books.

I really enjoyed this modern vampiric mystery! Dr. Greta Helsing treats the undead and is appalled one night when someone brings a freshly turned 11 year old girl to her door. Greta’s husband and friends work to track down the evildoer with the help of Dracula (yes, THE Dracula) all while helping the young girl adjust to her new life.

This novella was fun, quick and utterly enjoyable while still pulling at your heartstrings. 10/10 would recommend, and I’ll definitely be checking out the series!
