It was the worst book I've ever read 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 9 people found this review helpful.
This book began all right, but degraded into meaningless jumble of offensive sex and devil worship. I was looking for a good book, and the cover compared it to Interview With the Vampire, by Anne Rice. Interview being one of my favorite books, I started this one with high hopes. It was terrible!! The plot is this: David Bathory, heir to the family control of vampires. From there, it trailed off into describing (in extremely offensive detail) the sex he has with his uncle and his sister. I didn't care to finish the book.The author should be sued for false advertising, comparing his book to one of today's top writers. I gave this book one star, but only because I couldn't give it less. To anyone not interested in literary pornography, don't even bother picking up this book. Read Anne Rice if you are looking for well-written vampires.
Editorial Review:
Somewhere in contemporary Illinois...
David Bathory returns to his ancestral estate after the death of his father, the head of his family. David is the direct male heir to a birthright he has tried to deny: the lineage of Dracula--which means control over the entire family of vampires. Since his sinsiter uncle wishes to gain the vampire throne (and rule David as well), David is forced with two choices: either claim his birthright at the cost of his immortal soul, or suffer the immediate torments of hell. It's hell one way or the other.
