I liked some things about this book. The idea of Dracula as a hero intrigued me, as did the concept of red sheriffs. Some of the characters had potential, particularly Jenny. Yet the book as a whole did not impress me. There were too many plots so that the story was very episodic, with no focus. The plethora of characters makes for confusion, and only a couple of them had any depth (I really don't need to know the names of all the bit characters, either). Sometimes A.J. Gallant got so caught up writing details of a scene that I felt I was reading a series of very loosely connected vignettes. I had hoped that all the strands would come together by the end if the book. Instead the book just stopped, leaving lots of loose ends but very little satisfaction.I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it.
