Book Review

The writing felt like I was actually in the story, healing vampires and uncovering mysteries

In this book three girls (Mina,Buffy and Bella) find out their true identity and rush to save their town from the vampire that has been unleashed upon them.

The way this extraordinary book was written made me feel like I really got to know the characters.The strength the trio never knew they had was incredible which came in handy when they began their adventure to save their town from the danger coming. The way they stuck together and helped protect one another was amazing. The writing felt like I was actually in the story, healing vampires and uncovering mysteries.

Every page left me wanting more and when I had to close the book it felt like I stepped back through a portal into the real world. I liked the bits where they uncovered secrets and healed vampires.

I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series and seeing what vampires Mina,Buffy and Bella will face next. The book ended on a cliffhanger making me eager for the second one.

About the Book

Strange happenings are afoot in Temstown. Everyone is saying vampires are to blame and the townsfolk have their stakes at the ready.

But Mina, Buffy and Bella, three unusual cousins, are about to discover a family secret – and an ancient book – that could change everything. Could their connection to Dracula give them the powers to heal – not cull – vampires?

Temstown is about to welcome its very first vampire healing company, Dracula & Daughters, and their first case is certainly close to the heart!
