Synopsis: Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper’s true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth has no choice but to flee London and its memories. Together with the arrogant yet charming Thomas Cresswell, she journeys to the dark heart of Romania, home to one of Europe’s best schools of forensic medicine…and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.

But her life’s dream is soon tainted by blood-soaked discoveries in the halls of the school’s forbidding castle, and Audrey Rose is compelled to investigate the strangely familiar murders. What she finds brings all her terrifying fears to life once again.

Hunting Prince Dracula had so many good things in it. Seriously, I loved it.

 

I went in hoping for some of this (Cresswell, you rake!):

 

Expecting a TON of this:

(and was not disappointed)

and, of course, looking forward to some of this:

 

And of course, the book had it all…and SO MUCH MORE.

 

I was beyond thrilled that we got some of this:

 

So happy to see some girl love:

 

Unsurprisingly, there was a bit of this:

 

…and 100% backing Audrey Rose during this:

 

I wasn’t exactly expecting bats, but it wasn’t too surprising…

 

I was pleasantly surprised by this:

 

VERY, VERY UNPLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY THIS:

 

and positively THRILLED by this:

 

Top it all off with a hearty dose of this…

 

and you get a wonderful, romantic, feminist, spooky YA mystery to keep you warm in October.
