Publisher's summary

Caught in a war between the living and the dead, which side will Maxine choose?

Boston, 1897

Death’s arrival in Boston was heralded by a crimson moon and screams in the night. The vampire king will claim what he wants in the city, unless someone is brave enough to stop him....

Maxine Parker’s life is an agonizingly solitary one, and not by choice. life. Her empathic ability renders it impossible for her to touch a living soul without killing them. But she cannot kill what is already dead.

Thrust into the middle of a war between the vampire king and three stalwart hunters, she finds herself drawn to Dracula’s alluring seduction. Giving in to her attraction to him would mark the end of her life. Will that be the sacrifice required to save the people of Boston from the plague of death closing in on them?

Dark fantasy and gothic romance blend seamlessly with horror in this gripping pause-resister.

Surprisingly Complex As Well As Fun

I thought this would just be a fun diversion, but honestly the character of Dracula was both surprisingly complex and enjoyable snarky. Loved the story straight through.

Phenomenal

Being an empath, this book hit close to home, touching on so many of the hidden, intrinsic facets of this long pariahed and taboo super power, by weaving it into and around a centuries old familiar tale but in such an original and unique way.

I highly recommend!

enjoyable but.

I grew up reading the original Bram Stoker version in a classic hard back. I enjoyed the premise but had issues with the overly long intimate scenes. I enjoyed it enough to go ahead and purchase the sequel.

I really enjoyed reading this

I've audioread more than 3 months worth of mostly romantic fiction, and I skipped over this title several times because I rarely am into vampires. This was refreshing enough for me to doubt future such dismissals.
