In this New York Times bestselling sequel to Kerri Maniscalco's haunting #1 debut Stalking Jack the Ripper, bizarre murders are discovered in the castle of Prince Vlad the Impaler, otherwise known as Dracula. Could it be a copycat killer...or has the depraved prince been brought back to life?
Following the grief and horror of her discovery of Jack the Ripper's true identity, Audrey Rose Wadsworth has no choice but to flee London and its memories. Together with the arrogant yet charming Thomas Cresswell, she journeys to the dark heart of Romania, home to one of Europe's best schools of forensic medicine...and to another notorious killer, Vlad the Impaler, whose thirst for blood became legend.
But her life's dream is soon tainted by blood-soaked discoveries in the halls of the school's forbidding castle, and Audrey Rose is compelled to investigate the strangely familiar murders. What she finds brings all her terrifying fears to life once again.
Okay so I have been a bit slack on this one because the sun has been shining and so my drive to work I have been banging the tunes out (Yes I just said that!) but when I go to Cornwall for my nice 6 hour drive I will carry this one on as it has got quite interesting!!

Welcome to Halcyon (Dead Mawl #1) by S.G. TaszGoodreads
Also by this author: Welcome to Halcyon
The service industry can be a nightmare. But at Edensgate Shopping Center, the customers aren't the only monsters to worry about.
Sixteen-year-old Cari Hembert expects an uneventful last day behind the register. The Suttermill Department Store has been dying a slow death for months. Not surprising, since Edensgate is all but abandoned already. The only real challenge is keeping herself distracted from what she will do tomorrow when she is stuck in a dried-up mining town with no prospects and a mother who spends so much time at the bottom of a bottle Cari has considered forwarding her mail. Luckily, she has her best friend, movie theater employee and wannabe-anarchist Drexel "Rex" Ranganathan, to keep her spirits up with nachos and video games.
But when she and Rex find themselves accidentally locked in overnight, they discover a force invading this “dead mall” that is far more horrifying than the slow decline of brick-and mortar-retail. They’ve survived bad bosses, worse parents, and minimum wage. But will they survive the night shift?
Welcome to Halycon is the first in the Dead Mawl novella series where saving the world from the forces of evil is all in a night's work.
