In this terrifying, brilliantly imagine novel, Jeanne Kalogridis returns the same dark, sensual territory she visited in Covenant with the Vampire. Once again she explores the breathtaking battle waged in the hart of the Family Dracul--as the innocent take up arms against the monster. In the flickering gaslights of Vienna a brother watches--as a woman of alabaster beauty, his sister, takes two lovers at once. Then she pours her passion into the most forbidden act of all . . .  In the streets of Amsterdam a young man, the secret lover of his brother's wife, is whisked into a waiting carriage for a long journey into darkness and reunion with his father . . .  They are a family bound my an ancient curse, one generation pitted against another, taboos shattered, their firstborn's blood sipped from a silver chalice. In his stony fortress waits Vlad the Impaler, while his heir, Arkady, cries out to his sons: "Let the curse end with me!" "Jeanne Kalogridis has launched a vampire hero who will haunt my nights for decades--or lifetimes--to come."--Jacqueline Lichtenber, author of Those of My Blood… (meer)

Bajo las titilantes lámparas de gas de Viena, un hombre observa mientras su hermana, con una belleza de porcelana, toma a dos amantes a la vez para después volcar su pasión en el más prohibido acto de...
En las calles de Ámsterdam, a un joven, el amante secreto de su propia cuñada, lo meten precipitadamente en un carruaje para emprender un largo viaje hacia las tinieblas durante el cual se reunirá con su padre...
Hay una familia condenada a una vieja maldición, generaciones enfrentadas las unas a las otras, tabúes rotos, y sangre de primogénitos que se bebe de un cáliz de plata. En su fortaleza de piedra aguarda Vlad el Empalador, mientras su heredero, Arkady, les grita a sus hijos: «¡Dejad que la maldición termine conmigo!».

ATTENZIONE!!! DI SEGUITO ANTICIPAZIONI SULLA TRAMA (SPOLIERS)

Questo romanzo l'ho letto tempo fa e devo dire che cmq ha fatto presa nella mia memoria come se lo avessi finito solo da qualche giorno.
Dopo aver letto "Dracula" di Stoker, credevo che non mi sarei più entusiasmata tanto con qualche altro racconto incentrato sul Conte:

MI SBAGLIAVO!!!
La Kalogridis mi ha stupita; è riuscita a scrivere un romanzo entusiasmante e mozzafiato che mi ha tenuta incollata al libro fino a quando non l'ho finito.

Finemente ha narrato fatti che si svolgono prima del "Dracula" di Stoker (i primi due libri) e durante (l'ultimo), dando una spiegazione tutta sua, a mio parere brillante, sul conte e sulla sua discendenza maledetta.
Dà voce pure al conte: veniamo a conoscienza dei pensieri più intimi del Dracula e di come stipula il patto con il demonio pur di aver successo e gloria, infischiandone della sua genia.
Tutti gli altri personaggi sono descritti e caratterizzati alla perfezione; mi piace il filo logico che li lega, cioè a partire da Arkady e Mary, tutti gli altri sono legati da un vincolo di parentela o di amicizia: vedi Van Helsing (figlio di Arkady e Mary) oppure il dottor Seward (suo figlio; il mio preferito è Arkady, che con mio grande piacere è presente in tutti e tre i racconti, anche se all'ultimo la sua presenza è marginale, ma significativa, possiamo definirlo l'eroe dell'intero romanzo...
In conclusione: direi un ottimo romanzo, ben scritto, avvincente e coerente con quello di Stoker, non cade nel ridicolo o nel banale. ( )

Continuing along with the Diaries of the Family Dracul, this is the second book in the series.

We find ourselves following now Mary, who has married the doctor Jan Van Helsing and is raising two boys: Abraham and Stefan. When Arkady comes to warn his son of the Covenant, things start to go wrong.

To tell you anything about this novel feels really kind of spoiler-ish so I'm just going to say that the twist is one that you probably won't see coming. I enjoy twists like that.

Out of the whole series, I thought this one was the fastest paced and it kept me reading and reading. The other two I have put down for a bit, but this one I read straight through. A good continuation to the first book. ( )
