It's been awhile since I read vampire stories, but his boxset was a great way to reintroduce myself back into them. What I love about (quality) box sets is that if one story isn’t for you, you can move on to one that is. I have read some pretty garbage boxsets, but in this one, even if I don’t like the story, I cannot find fault in the writing. These authors are talented and know how to write.

I absolutely loved getting to hear Della's story. She was one of my favorite characters in the original series, so it was fun getting to see what she goes theough. I really liked this story. Not only was the storyline pretty fresh, I was also very happy with the introduction of the newer characters. Vampire back stories are always pretty fun as well. If you have read the Shadow Falls series, I definitely recommend picking this one up as well.

Vlad: The Last Confession

Subtitled (on the inner cover) "The Last Confession", this is a fictional re-telling of the story of the 'real' Dracula: not the vampire of Bram Stoker's legend, but of the 15th century Wallachian Prince who lived c. 1390 to Dec 1447. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlad_II_Dracul)

It's also not a novel for the squemish: this book doesn't shy away form the reason Dracula would become known as Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler), with some rather explicit passages concerning the same.

Movie Rating
Monochromatic vampire love story similar at times to Let the right one in, however this is a little more quirky and has some beautiful cinematography.
The cast isn't a long line of the well known and its filmed in Iran in limited locations, but this doesn't detract from its compelling story and amazing turns from the two main cast members.
Vampires need love too I guess and I would highly recommend this story be seen, its touching and surprisingly well told, highly recommended!

Fun watch
Another old one I've never seen. Sooo cheesy all around but still a fun movie. Lots of fake blood, silly trinkets and bodies exploding. The acting was on par for a 90s movie-full of cheesy one liners. The story was also what you'd expect from a 90s vampire flick- lack of real emotion but full of weakly choreographed action sequences. If you've ever seen a "Tales from the Crypt" show/movie you'll like this one, too. Worth a watch.

Enjoyable, easy to read. (0 more)
In truth there are authors in this genre who are in some respects better, however i do enjoy reading books by this author. The Anita Blake series is easy reading. The plots are not too complicated and characters are easy to follow and they never take that long to read that i lose interest. I would recommend to anyone interested in this genre that doesnt want a huge long drawn out book but a nice quick vampire story fix.
