The Secret

Blog Tour: Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco {Playlist + Giveaway}


Y'all, I am over the moon excited to be kicking off the blog tour for Hunting Prince Dracula, hosted by the Knights of Whitechapel! If I haven't spouted my love of Stalking Jack the Ripper to you in the last year, I probably simply haven't seen you. Lucky little me has already read Hunting Prince Dracula (literally dropped everything to reread SJtR really quickly and leap into HPD!), and it's seriously wonderful. Everything you loved in Kerri's first book is there again, but with higher stakes (stakes, get it?), an even more gothic, dramatic setting, and even more romance. This is one you're going to need to pick up as soon as you can.

In this hotly anticipated sequel to the haunting #1 bestseller 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.

PRAISE FOR HUNTING PRINCE DRACULA
“There are plenty of suspects and red herrings as well as tense escalations….A scenic, twisty mystery.”
Kirkus Reviews

 “Readers of the previous mystery will be thrilled to have more of this likable duo. [A] delightful romp into an 1888 Gothic mystery with a hint of romance.”
School Library Connection

Pre-Order the Book:

Personally, I'm ordering from one of Kerri's tour stops to get my book signed and personalized. Her stops are listed here!

AND, if you pre-order and submit your proof of order, you can receive an exclusive story from Thomas' POV! Check out details here--it's international!

About the author:

Kerri Maniscalco grew up in a semi-haunted house outside NYC where her fascination with gothic settings began. In her spare time she reads everything she can get her hands on, cooks all kinds of food with her family and friends, and drinks entirely too much tea while discussing life’s finer points with her cats.

Her first novel in this series, Stalking Jack the Ripper, debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. It incorporates her love of forensic science and unsolved history.

And now for my playlist! Last year, for the Stalking Jack the Ripper tour, I put together a playlist for that book (linked, if you're interested!), so I was really excited to work on another playlist for its sequel! Often, I only pick music that I would listen to while reading, all orchestral, because I love to play music that enhances the mood and tone of a book, but oftentimes people singing distracts me. This time, I went a little further and picked music that I think, in some moments of the book, reflects how the characters are thinking. I still, however, wanted to maintain the mood. So everything here is a little subdued and dark, which should make it a perfect accompaniment to reading Hunting Prince Dracula!



And it's not a complete tour stop without a giveaway, huh? Here we are!

So there it is! I hope y'all are already getting excited for the book (I know I am!) and will follow the tour. We've got some really great posts coming up in the next month! Here's the link, if you're so inclined--I'll be following along myself! And keep an eye out here for my review of HPD in the next month as well! (Spoiler: It'll be gushing.)

The Brontë siblings have always been inseparable. After all, nothing can bond four siblings quite like life in an isolated parsonage out on the moors. Their vivid imaginations lend them escape from their strict upbringing, actually transporting them into their created worlds: the glittering Verdopolis and the romantic and melancholy Gondal.
