Lord of the Vampires

"Lord of the vampires" is the last of the trilogy of "The Diaries of the Family Dracul". The first book is "Covenant With the Vampire" and the second is "Children of the Vampire. The reason I mentioned the other novels is because they really should be read before reading this one. All are highly engrossing and interesting. How Ms Kalogridis thought up all this is beyond me - but she is obviously talented. Although all the books are wonderful reads - be prepared - there are strange situations in the books - among them are incest and homosexuality. The books don't go into to much "intimate" details on these subjects - and they're not something that carries on into the complete story. So the squeamish should tolerate them just fine. Therefore, I would advise anyone who likes vampire novels to purchase all three of them.

Kalogridis has full round characters, and the evil in this Vlad Dracul leaves Bramstoker's character almost as a child, to read the first book was enough to realize i had a great trilogy on my hands. Few authors can infuse such live in each and everyone of the characters.

Oh, poor, poor "Sal" (customer reviewer). You hated this because you did not read the first two!!! This is a series that you must read IN ORDER and you must read ALL OF THEM!!! The majority of the history is in the first novel, too bad you missed out on that!!! This is the BEST vampire series to date, and I am an avid Anne Rice fan, but Anne Kalogridis far surpasses Ms. Rice with this trilogy!! I am SO sad that the series is over!!!! Finally, a vampire novel that intertwines the actual history of Vlad the Impaler!!! No "Lestat" and "Armand"......Vlad and the Family Dracul is real history and this series is gripping to the very end!!!!!!

This was an excellent book, I've read all of the books in this exquist trilogy, the way the author incorperated the Bram Strokers version was supurb I can't believe its over! I'm going to read them all agian!!

I've read this book and the others in this trilogy about 2 years ago. They were ALL put together extremely well. As you read further into the novels, each character seemed to appear so real. The story line of each book, followed the tale of Dracula to its extreme. I can't say enough GOOD things about these books. I just wish she would write more like them.
