Review: Not your average vampire tale

A Passing Curse by C. R. Trolson is a modern twist on the well-worn and loved vampire/Dracula genre. Imagine Dracula owning and controlling the world’s blood supply. ‘Curse is littered with bizarre killings, some obscure aspects of history and a hint of romance.I found the flow of ‘Curse to be disjointed at times, making me think that I had skipped a few pages. The level of intrigue was not so intense, especially if you have read a wide variety of vampire stories.The actions and the decisions of the lead character – a veteran police officer – I found to be illogical and for me, seemed to make the story more of a farce than fiction. The strong desire by the heroes to overcome evil in whatever form is what I think make this book a fairly good read.
