Well, here's a new take on poor Vlad Tepes who came to be known as Count Dracula. Seems that poor Vlad was destined from birth to become a member of the undead and the king of the world, Satan's front man on earth. He finds all this out as a little boy, when he has a vision of a woman who tells him she is a witch and destined to be his mate and Queen, as all has been decided in the prophecies of Satan. So Vlad has to sit idly by and wait for all of this to happen. And then when it does, Vlad makes an astonishing discovery, but I won't tell you what it is in case you want to read it. Suffice it to say that there are more powers at work and life is not as cut and dried as our conception of good vs. evil.

I've noticed throughout this month that even though they're dead, vampires really like to have sex. Especially in this book, there is rarely a chapter that goes by where, well, let's just say they didn't call him Vlad the Impaler for nothing. Hahahahahaha!!!

The basic story was okay...nothing to write home about, but it was a fresh take on the old vampire story. I might recommend it just for that reason, but it doesn't stick out as one of the better books about vampires for me. ( )
