Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco

Not to be rude or offend my friends from Bucharest, but people there have no idea how a snow-capped mountain is supposed to look like as seen from the window of their flat.

They were talking about Bucharest and the snow-capped Carpathian Mountains in the same sentence and just try to imagine my confusion because, let me tell you, Bucharest is nowhere near any mountain. I kind of got lost at some point while reading this… Because this book’s action was supposed to be set so close to where I actually live in Romania, I kind of know the geography of the place. I didn’t know exactly how to grasp the general atmosphere of the book from the first few chapters. The first book, Stalking Jack the Ripper, was better in my opinion, but only because it didn’t directly imply my culture and history. Now, moving to the actual review, I have to say it: I didn’t really like this (because I am biased af), but it wasn’t entirely that bad.

I still haven’t discovered my fangs though, but now if I think on it I might have put them into a glass of water somewhere in my mountain castle and forgot about them. Page count: 480 (Paperback) 418 (Kindle Edition)ĩ9% sure I’m not a vampire, but some of y’all seem to believe that everyone in Romania is from Transylvania and we all have fangs and hate garlic with a passion so you make me question my initial statement with your fairytale determination.
