by Kerri Maniscalco

Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper's true identity, Audrey Rose has no choice but to flee London and its memories. 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.

Thoughts right after finishing
Just as good (possibly better?) than the first book!

LIKES
- Audrey Rose and Thomas are pretty much the most adorable couple ever. I love it when they work together.
- Thomas really started coming out of his shell in this one. He was joking around a lot more and even disclosed some information about himself!
- I liked the creepy atmosphere of Hunting Prince Dracula. It had a very creepy Gothic vibe which I loved.
- The mystery was a lot of fun to try and solve. Like the first book, I did guess who it was pretty early on (though I was thrown off for a bit near the end, you'll see!) and I do wish it was a little less predictable at times. I did enjoy how they discovered the killer and all the ties to Dracula were really cool.
- I also really loved that the setting was a medical school in this giant castle. Definitely added to the creepy vibes.
- Lots of awesome girl power in this book!

DISLIKES
- There wasn't too much I didn't like about Hunting Prince Dracula. I think the plot could have gone a little faster, it did drag at certain points and I wish I hadn't been able to guess the killer so quickly.
- I'm still a little confused as to why the killer did what he/she did. The motive just didn't feel strong enough to me and there's a few questions I have regarding it all.
