Draculas by Blake Crouch, J.A. Konrath, Jeff Strand, and F. Paul Wilson

 


🧛🧛🧛

Three "Vampire Blood Sucker" Stars


This book was literally soaked in blood and gore!

A small taste of what lies within:

Mortimer Moorecock collects artifacts and when he finds an artifact of Dracula's skull he must have it so he buys it. When the package arrives Mortimer decides on the spur of the moment to sink the fangs of the skull artifact into his neck. By performing that dastardly deed will start a chain of events that will lead to an outbreak of people turning into vampires at the speed of light! 

That is about all I can give on a small taste as you will need to read my full review on Goodreads. 

Thoughts:

Well normally a blood soaking gore fest would earn a book like this five stars from me, but I dropped it down to a three star for a reason. This story was loaded with vampire blood and gore action, but it continued on for way too long for me. It was a cross between zombie/vampire action on steroids. 

I felt that it became a little bit too repetitive for far too long with the same thing happening over and over. There were some funny parts within the story and I did like a few of the characters, but this could have been a better book if it had been a tad shorter on page length. 

I did enjoy reading the biographies of the authors and they also have a section in the book where they show the emails that went back and forth between all of them as they were collaborating on this story. That was really interesting reading.
