Josephine Nicolson and the vampire in her basement set out on a quest to discover what caused her uncle’s death twenty years ago.

Josephine and Baron Dragomir Blasko arrive on Florida’s Cedar Island to find an eccentric group of guests assembled at the local hotel… and a host of unwelcoming islanders with a frightening secret.

A letter from her Uncle Petey points Josephine toward a cache of unusual treasure hidden somewhere near the island, but it’s soon apparent that both the newcomers and the locals will do anything to find it, including commit murder. Blasko and Josephine soon find themselves caught in the middle, up to their necks in danger.

I like this series. I like this book the best. Plenty of mysterious people and occurrences. There are surprises in the plot. We learn a little about Blasko's past. Josephine and Blasko get closer to each other. I did not expect some if the things which occurred. I look forward to the next book.

The tension continues to the last page

I have a time time predicting what's going to happen than with most writers. It was a relief to find out that there's another book coming, and hope as well as danger possible.

Loved it! This series really does take you back in time and there's nothing typical about the "monsters".
