Goodreads Review – For fans of the classic novel, ‘Dracula,’ by Bram Stoker, Lee Child has re-imagined this tale in a contemporary sense that is action-packed from the get-go. Complete with the classic’s original characters, Vladek is a hunter without remorse. Wielding his favorite machete, he takes no prisoners, but leaves a bloody trail behind him wherever he goes.
Classical demons have evolved into hybrid creatures completely bent on their own successes, pitilessly slaying and tearing each other to bits as if it’s the only thing they do.
Blazing with flashing imagery, the reader is left with a significant impression with each chapter’s transition, leading to a shocking ending that is merciless as Valdek himself.
A must read!
