Review of 'Hunting Prince Dracula' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Wow, really, really nice series.
This second book is way better showing the "I'm a girly girl but also a badass heroine" trope than the first. For one it's showing instead of telling :D

Loved the setting and the Dracula-vibe, too, since I have been a huge vampire nerd in my teens (proper vampires, not all those veggie-vamps who wouldn't eat human blood) and have switched to a morbid fascination with forensics since then.

I'm a bit sad I have only two more books to go and I'm now trying to slow down reading them.
