Helpful Score: 2
If you love Dracula - you'll love this trilogy. Written in the same "diary" format as Bram Stoker's classic. The trilogy gives you a before, during, and after to Dracula. Jeanne Kalogridis did an awesome job of writing her stories around the established classic so that it seems part of the original story. Read the set !!!

Great end of a three book series. Loved it!
Book 3 in the Diaries of the Family Dracul series - this was my least favorite of the three books. I had a hard time keeping with it til the end, and they I didn't really understand the ending at all. Somewhat disappointing.
Barbara S. (barbsis) -
Abraham Van Helsing is pominent in his desire to destroy Vlad and all vampires. His wife is suffering from Zsuzanna's bite and is institutionalized since she is quite mad. His mother, Mary, (Arkady's wife) is dying and suffering greatly but nothing can be done to help her. Due to Van Helsing's efforts, Vlad and Zsuzsanna are dying a slow death as well. However Vlad has invited Elisabeth (another vampire though a different kind) to his castle to restore them. Of course, Elisabeth has plans of her own and a deal with the Dark One. The mad antics of all involved develop into an interesting story with a very satisfying conclusion.
A bit strange.
