Hunting Prince Dracula

By: Kerri Maniscalco

Narrated by: Nicola Barber

In this New York Times bestselling sequel to Kerri Maniscalco's haunting #1 debut Stalking Jack the Ripper, bizarre murders are discovered in the castle of Prince Vlad the Impaler, otherwise known as Dracula. Could it be a copycat killer . . . or has the depraved prince been brought back to life?

Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper's true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth has no choice but to flee London and its memories. Together with the arrogant yet charming Thomas Cresswell, she journeys to the dark heart of Romania, home to one of Europe's best schools of forensic medicine . . . and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.

But her life's dream is soon tainted by blood-soaked discoveries in the halls of the school's forbidding castle, and Audrey Rose is compelled to investigate the strangely familiar murders. What she finds brings all her terrifying fears to life once again.

Love this series

I’m loving this series but I could barely get through the spider part! I was squirming and felt phantom spiders on me.

WHAT A SEQUEL!!!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The narration is amazing and so is the story.

Any additional comments?

I loved this story. The first one was better to me because I knew so much about Jack the Ripper and not as much about Dracula. However, I loved, loved loveeeeeed this book as well because it had Dracula, Elizabeth Bathory and the Goonies all rolled into one super spooky and romantic story.

We see Audry Rose suffering from the aftermath of the previous story and over coming her traumas. We see that Thomas has his own personal battles to fight and so much more. I am so happy with how this turned out and cant wait to see what awaits in the next book!!!

Even better than the first

I enjoyed the first book in this series but this far exceeded my expectations bravo!
