Ratings and reviews

What if? Suppose it is Mina's father who was the first British victim of the Vampire. Suppose that Jack the Ripper is actually the Vampire. Suppose that Jonathan Harker was abducted from a fashionable London ballroom by the Vampire and taken away to Transylvania and was followed by his fiancee Mina and Abraham Van Helsing. Well, read this and find out! A totally different perspective on the classic tale to be enjoyed on its own merit! Loved it! Narrator Danielle Cohen adds to the suspense and urgency. I won this free audiobook in a giveaway!
