Summary: THIS BOOK WAS GREAT!!!!!
Review: I've read a lot of vampire trilogies, but i have to say that this is one of the best. The book is very well written and well portrayed by all the characters, it is a perfect sequal and I recommend this book to anyone that likes vampire or horror books. I love how she used journal entries to tell the story, it was very original.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST, BUT A COUPLE OF FLAWS
Review: Jeanne continues the trilogy with the this second book CHILDREN OF THE VAMPIRE. The book has every aspect of horror and suspence, every vampire lovers quality, but it lacks in structure of the story. Even though it entertaining, you could sometimes get confused. Another thing it doesn't take to long to read, and some of the events will make you ask questions, that will be answer in LORD OF THE VAMPIRES. Well, over all the book is great, the sex and horror makes up for the flaws, and anybody who loves vampires should get it!

Summary: Spellbinding!
Review: Jeanne Kalogridis intrigues us with a world of blood, lust, love and ancestry worthy of even Anne Rices' admiration. This sequel to Covenant of the Vampire pulls you, once again, into the lives of the strigoi, vampire, and their dark covenant forged by their power hungry Uncle, Vlad the Impaler. This chronicle, seen through the eyes of the characters themselves in diary form, surpasses the efforts of Bram Stokers' Dracula. It will captivate you and inspire you to weep for the cursed Arkady who against his will and for the life of his wife and child has been torn from them into to a world of immense horrors. In his quest to keep his only son from following in his footsteps and his endeavor to stop the curse of the Covenant once and for all Arkady must find a way to destroy his uncle, and end the eternal servitude in store for his entire bloodline. He has made the ultimate sacrifice of love, life and passion and will leave you begging for the release of his damned soul. Touching and compassionate, a masterpiece of modern fiction.

Summary: More tales of fictional vamp history
Review: The first-person perspective and diary-entry format began to wear on me. Perhaps it is just me, but the reading of the tale began to become a tiny-tiny bit of a chore...nonetheless, the story was truly involving and exciting.

Summary: The masterpiece continues...
Review: The magnificent continuation to the previous masterpiece, Covenant With The Vampire. Arkady & Mary's childe has grown up, & Stephan, now in Amsterdam, has a brother, who has a hard time accepting the shadow world of the Vampire, & eventually comes to learn the horrible truth of it all, in the most personal manner. The psychological twists will set you reeling, as the twisted labyrinths Vlad has constructed unfolds. Zsusannah continues to improve & evolve in her new & glorious afterlife, & has come to realize her new abilities more intimately, & employs wicked trickeries taught to her by Vlad, & a secret society of Vampire Magicians. The creative genius of Jeanne Kalogridis continues to delight & astound the Children of Darkness everywhere. She is the best new talent to creep forth from the recesses of the catacombes of horror-writers in quite awhile. She has become the Dark Goddess of this strange & compelling world where we long to be, & would swear upon our black souls, we have been. She has spread her black wings, & swiftly ascends unto the ranks of Anne Rice & Clive Barker. The series, The Diaries of the Family Dracul, is truly an ingenious work, & bears boldly, The Draconian Seal of Approval. I do wish a movie lies in the future...

Summary: Really too fast to read.
Review: The second book of the diaries of the family Dracul is not good as the first. It's definitely too easy and fast to read, even for an entertaining book. All the good things in the book come as consequences of "Covenant with the vampire", in primis the great pseudo-historical connection between Stoker's vampire and the 1400's voievod. There is too much meaningless and very little sensuality...sometimes we forget that they aren't exactly the same thing; but this is a problem of many writers today. I see this book more as an intermission between the first and the last book than a volume with its own completion. All that is told in "Children of the vampire" had to be put in the first and in the third book, I believe. Luckily, the other two tomes are better. Read this one just to connect the facts and the characters in the other books.

Summary: Dracula not enough?
Review: This book is more than a Dracula spin off. It is a beautifully written novel by a talented author. I found myself completely wrapped up in the story. The perfect addition to a vampire lovers collection.
