The Clan Andriescu
Vampires can have as many problems with love as anyone else.
Take the members of the Clan Andriescu, for instance.
There’s Marius, elder brother and leader of the clan, who can’t understand why the one woman he really loves doesn’t want to renew their affair. What does it matter that fifty years have passed since their last meeting? Isn’t love eternal?
Then, there’s younger brother Valerius. Ordered to get serious and find a bride, he does what any spoiled brat will do. He runs away…right into the arms of a most beguiling young lady who’s human and mortal and forbidden. What’s a vampire to do?
As for Cousin Timon… Married to the author of the most famous vampire series since Interview with the Vampire can be fun, until she writes a novel proving vampires exist.
Join the Clan Andriescu as they find love, lose it, find it again, and struggle to keep it.

Vampires living in 2013 have been able to hide from humans because of the rules kept for hundreds of years by their prince. Of course, sometimes these rules are made to be broken. The Clan Andriescu, led by Marius, tell their tales of their lives, and loves, to a young human friend, the author himself, Tony-Paul de Vissage. Marius falls in love with a human at the end of the turbulent 1960s and then finds her again, only to be rebuffed. His little brother, Valerius, finds a woman he can stand to marry, only to be told she’s not the right one. Their cousin, Timon, Exiled for stealing one too many women from his prince...
Cousin Timon finds out that the prince is not playing around about humans knowing what’s going on with vampires when his wife writes a novel.
Tony-Paul de Vissage is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors. Once again, he has scored high with The Clan Andriescu. I really wasn’t sure how the story was going to fall together with his telling the story of his meeting the Clan as well as their stories, but I was more than pleasantly surprised at how well it went together. Each story builds on the last, from Marius’ takeover of the family to Valerius’ love story that stretches between continents, to Timon’s wife’s situation with her foray into writing about vampires. Each had a poignant part and I actually felt sorry for them, having to deal with the laws of vampires.
I enjoyed them so much that I am actually hoping that Tony-Paul pulls each of them into his own book and expands on the world of the Andriescu’s and their prince. There’s so much potential coming out of this book for more and I’m thirsty!

I liked this different vampire story. This book portrayed vampires as ordinary citizens living in New Orleans. The focus is on two brothers and their cousin melding in, making sure to keep their secret. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Narrator Quinn Riley did a great job .

I like how the author wrote himself into the story like it really happened. It takes the journey of three male vampires and how they lived, or existed.

A young man, in a stage of rebellion, sneaks through his bedroom window. As he walks he comes across three men-vampires. Instead of becoming dinner he is made an offer; complete school and become their scribe so their history can be written.
The leader of the Andriescu clan is Marius. They eventually settled in America after being forced from their Transylvanian home. He is the most serious of the three. Although he has had his moments! Valerius, or Val as he is now called, is the younger brother. He is by far my favorite of the group. Timon is the cousin, and to me is the most hot-headed one. He also strikes me as a bit rebellious himself.
The young man who meets up with the clan is none other than Tony-Paul de Vissage himself. I thought it was really interesting the way he inserted himself into the story, it kind of makes the tales of the clan seem more authentic. I was totally wrapped up when we first meet Marius and gain some history of the family. Afterwards, de Vissage gives readers Val’s story. It was my favorite for the fact that it felt the most complete. I enjoyed the book, but I wish there would have been just a little more history and details in each of their stories.
Tony-Paul de Vissage gives the readers three wonderful characters and their stories of finding their happily ever after. It would have been easy to give each of them a full length book. I am curious to know everything about them. It would make me very happy to see these characters that have all of this great potential revisited in the future.
