Great continuance of a story. I'm still caught up in it. And the perspective, that started with Arkady in the first book, eventually changes to Bram , his son. And yes, a good amount of the book later on is taken on his story but then, he is going to take the story farther.This has to be one of my favorite "drac" series by far!!! Highly recommend!!! And yes, sorry Ms Rice, I enjoyed much better than your series.....but I still love your series...this just holds a bit more...I don't give away spoilers for fear of being attacked...just read and enjoy!!!
Diaries of the Family Dracul #2: Children of the Vampire, by Jeanne KalogridisA sequel to "Covenant with the Vampire," "Children of the Vampire" continues the Dracula prequel with diaries by Arkady, Zsuzsanna, and two new characters: Stefan and Bram Van Helsing. Because Vlad broke the covenant he made with the Devil in the first book, he still owes the soul of the eldest son to purchase his continued immortality. Now that Arkady is a vampire, Vlad must find Stefan, Arkady's son who was spirited
Arkady has been turned vampire and "lives" to end the existence of his uncle Vlad and his sister, Zsuzsanna. His son, Stefan and his wife, Mary have successfully escaped Vlad and Arkady is desperate to find and protect them. Thinking Arkady dead, Mary has married Jan Van Helsing and adopted a child (Bram). It takes 26 years for Arkady to finally find them and then all hell breaks loose. Stefan is enthralled and kidnapped by Zsuzsanna and his brother Bram is ensnared by Arkady to help rescue him.
I could barely force myself to finish the first entry, and now I could hardly get to the end of this book fast enough. The first book, I think, was simply to set the stage and provide a historical background. Now that the reader is up to speed, Kalogridis is free to gallop along with the action. The characters are a lot more sympathetic this time around, probably because there are more than just Vlad, Zsuzanna, Mary, and Arkady.
I accidently read this out of order, this is a sequel to Covenant with the Vampire.The story is about Vlad (Dracula), he makes a deal with the devil to remain immomrtal and he needs the soul of each first born son of every generation to remain immortal. Arkady has been turned into a vampire, making his wife, Mary murder him and go into hiding with their new-born son, Stefan. Thinking hs is dead, she marries Jan Van Helsing and adopts a boy named Bram. Arkady finally finds them, but is trying to
If you are looking for a true vampire tale with lots of gothic trappings (rather than angsty vampires in love), this trilogy is for you. In the second of the series, we learn that father was made vampire while saving his son. Fast forward to when son is now a family man himself and completely unaware of his family history, only to be found by his malevolent aunt. Bram's life completely changes as a result. Lots of chills and thrills. This is not a tale with a happy ending.
