a fantastic book

Absolutely loved it and has me pushing on with book 4!

I really enjoyed reading Victor Foia's book 3 in the continuing saga of Vlad. I could not put it down and spent days and nights wolfing through it. The trials and tribulations of the young man in the series are unbelievably difficult and beautifully portrayed by Victor - the characters became alive in one's mind - Vlad's encounter with the rich matron who teaches him about the proper art of lovemaking, the faithful servant who joins him in most every adventure, and the grand finale cliffhanger which leaves the reader impatient, wanting the next book so that the story can continue. Will Vlad and his sidekick be able to get away from the Turks who are searching for them, how will he manage to do so when his hiding place is surrounded by enemies...after all, he is still a young teenager at this time, but is so resourceful that he resembles a much more mature man. I, for one, cannot wait until book 4 comes out - I am hungry for the adventure to continue.
