Hunting Prince Dracula (Stalking Jack the Ripper #2) by Kerri Maniscalco - A Review

 

Hello everyone!!

Today we reviewing Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco whish is the second book in the Stalking Jack the Ripper series and was published by Jimmy Paterson Books in 2017.

In Hunting Prince Dracula we continue with the adventures of Audrey Rose and Thomas but this time we are in Romania. I liked this one more than Stalking Jack the Ripper as I found it more fascinating and I liked the story more. The fact that I currently live in Romania and I know the places they were talking about was an extra bonus. 

Kerri Maniscalco writes excellent historical fiction and I really enjoy her writing. This book had everything I wanted from it. It had mystery, strong characters and romance. But most of all it had plot twists that I wasn't expecting. I was very surprised by who the murderer was at the end. 

I loved how Audrey Rose and Thomas relationship had evolved since book 1 and was even deeper. 

I cannot wait to read book 3, Escaping from Houdini and get more Thomas Cresswell in my life. Thankfully it's already on my shelves.

Rating: 5 Stars
