“Winding our way through the narrow path, we finally pulled to a blessed stop outside the castle. It’s just so perfectly creepy without keeping me up at night! Audrey’s rooms are away from the other rooms since she is the only female attending the school, and she hears creepy things outside her door. It’s December at the castle, so it’s bitterly cold outside, it gets dark very early, and the entire world is blanketed in snow. It is surrounded by a creepy wood that is rumored to be filled with all manner of scary animals and people.
This castle has secret alcoves hidden by tapestries, secret trap doors and rooms, and a labyrinth of creepy tunnels that you access through the floor in the morgue. The story takes place in Vlad’s actual castle in Romania, which is now the home of an elite forensics school that Audrey Rose and Thomas are attending. The setting of Hunting Prince Dracula is amazing. So there’s some truth mixed with a ton of fiction, and it was so wonderful seeing how Kerri would spin that. But the character was named after a real man who did enjoy the taste of blood: Vlad the Impaler. The story of Dracula, of course, is fictional. I love how Kerri tackles old, old mysteries in a way that makes them feel very real instead of over-the-top and silly. I really, really enjoyed Stalking Jack the Ripper, but I LOVED Hunting Prince Dracula like a million times more. I absolutely LOVE Dracula stories (which is weird, since I’ve never read Dracula…) and creepy historical fiction, so I was really excited when I learned what the second installment of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series was going to be about. When a series of troubling deaths brings whispers of Vlad’s bloodthirsty return from the grave, Audrey Rose and her sharp-witted companion, Thomas Cresswell, must unravel the cryptic clues that will lead them to the shadowlike killer-living or dead. But it’s impossible to find peace in the dark, unsettling Romanian castle that houses the school-and was also once home to the depraved Vlad the Impaler, otherwise known as Prince Dracula.
Along this path, you’ll soon be dead.įollowing the horrifying revelation of Jack the Ripper’s true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth flees her home in Victorian London to enroll as the only female student in Europe’s most prestigious forensics school.
