The Draculata Nest
This book is primarily about Clifford Crane, a man who is 60 human years old but has only been a werewolf for 5 or 6, and the person who changed him has since passed away leaving him with very little knowledge of werewolves. Most of the information he does have comes from Kent a friend of 40 plus years he met in collage who is now a vampire and Kent's lover Roland who is quite high ranking in the local vampire nest. Clifford finds himself unexpectedly confronting a member of a...more

Admittedly, the premise had me hooked. Even though I’m not a huge fan of vampires and werewolves which have been overdone to the point of boredom and eye-rolling, this book sounded as though it could be something different. And indeed it was, but rather disappointingly so.
A few chapters into the book, it still hadn’t captured my interest enough to keep reading. The very first thing I found a little distasteful, is the sixty year old main lead lusting after two co-eds. It didn’t work for me and l...more

First I would like to thank the author and books4tomorrow for giving me a copy of this book to read for a review. I want to say that this is a good book. It's got your normal werewolf vs vampire, but oddly not all of them are enemies :) the main character is Clifford, who is in his 60s but became a werewolf in the last decade so he looks much younger. I like the "made were" background, it's a little different, as you can't be bitten to be one. Most of the story is told form Cliffords point of vi...more
The Draculata Nest is a recent addition to my Kindle library. I'd been 'umming' and 'ahhing' for a while about picking up this supernatural fiction, as the title didn't grab me and the cover design was not overly enticing. But, I am a firm believer of not judging a book by its cover, and I am honestly relieved that I didn't in this instance.

Review: Clifford is just your run of the mill middle aged guy that would just prefer to blend into the woodwork. But it's a little difficult when he is a werewolf and his instincts drive him to defend a young female friend from vampires. But when his identity is accidentally revealed to the girl and her best friend, it changes all of their lives forever.

The Draculata Nest is the first book in the Red Wolf Novels. This is the first book I’ve read by John Hundley. This book follows Clifford Crane a lone wolf who is somewhat satisfied with his lonesome life until he sparks a friendship with two classmates and realizes just how lonely he is. Finding others of his kind also brings along a future that he doesn’t want but falls right into. This is not the typical Werewolf/Vampire story. The book was greatly written and full of excitement and great cha...more
There are a lot of books in this genre and it was nice to read a book did its own thing. I loved that it was a vampire-werewolf theme that kept it classic. The alluring and seductive vampires came out at night to play and when they grow angry they become monstrous creatures. And the werewolves didn’t just poof into fluffy big dogs, their bones cracked and the transformation was bone crackling and painful.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, but I quickly got into it. It was a lot of fun, even though I'm not one to enjoy novels that mix weres with vampires (over done to death!), but John Hundley does a great job with it. If you like paranormal novels with vamps and weres against each other, but want something different, then check this book out. I'm happy I did and am looking forward to the next in the series.
