Dracula, among the scariest of all monsters made by man, a popular character that everyone had to try to write him, but not always successfully........
The premise was truly captivating, Hitler was a firm believer of the power of the supernatural, sadly in our reality, he died and his belief died with him......ahhhh but on this reality, maybe, just maybe, fate will have a kinder hand on him!!
World War II, the Nazi's brilliant offensive has been able to completely destroy Europe, France, Italy and United Kingdom, all trapped within their own borders, unable to help each other!
Our story begins in Brasov, during the height of Nazi offensive going into Russia, the only country left aside from America that has a real chance of stopping Hitler, Abraham Van Helsing together with daughter Lucille Van Helsing, leads the local resistance handing out defeat after defeat to the German invaders, unbeknowest to both, a change in leadership is in order, for the Germans, Major Reikel one of the more sadistic SS officers, upon arriving he was able to completely undermine The Van Helsings work, days later saw the arrival of Jonathan Harker, through parachutes....
With Reikel in command, the local resistance lost every single battle, never have they seen such brutality and inhumaness, nearing capture Abraham Van Helsing was unable to hold back his decision, to fight a monster you need a monster too.......and with Brasov so near the birthplace and final resting place of the so called monster..........all he has to do is travel............travel to the only place he has feared to return.........Transylvania, Vlad Tepes' kingdom........Dracula's domain........
Hmmmmmmm.........again premise magnificent, but reading and finishing, I felt the author powered down Dracula's abilities, his ruthlessness, cunning, everything that describes him......making him into a blood sucking Wolverine(Yes, the X-man).......and so I shall stop my story here and let you readers discover how this book ends, maybe some of you will be elated, but unfortunately I was not........
