Review: Doctor Blessing's Rapture, by Jack Rollins

Doctor Blessing's Rapture by Jack Rollins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book takes the story to the next level, after the short novel of the first. Here the character of Dr Blessing is explored as we learn how he is enraptured by his adopted 'daughter' - but in a very sinister way as she isn't human. We find out just how far he is willing to go.

We also understand more about Mary and her role in trying to stop this 'child'. But both Mary and Dr Blessing's plans are interrupted by a third party, Charles Blanton, who is seeking revenge for his master's death, and becomes an unstoppable train.

The story and characters develop and the fast pace continues. I found this even more compelling than the first, and just as brutal. I am already into the final book, A Christmas Blessing, and still just enthralled.

If a different take on vampire in a gothic Victorian setting appeals to you, I can't recommend this series enough.
