Description Hawkesmoor: Novel of Vampire & Faerie by Anne Merino



Vampires, Romance and dark Celtic Mysticism fuse and blaze in this epic tale set in Manhattan, Yorkshire, England — and time itself.

Robin Dashwood, a handsome and charming British vampire with long gone aristocratic connections, is about to be thrown into an epic adventure that will shine light upon the rise of the vampire. This is the last thing he could imagine himself doing. Robin prefers to hide in plain sight, having devised a quiet life for himself in New York as a history professor in hopes of avoiding other more powerful vampires and their dangerous, decadent political machinations.

A chance encounter in a Manhattan art gallery introduces him to the beautiful Lady Caroline DeBarry and reveals a vicious murder from Robin’s human past. In search of answers to this historical mystery, he returns home to England and to Caroline who has captured his heart. As Robin uncovers the truth, he finds traces of a far more ancient and shrouded realm than even that of the vampire. This will shake the foundations of vampire lore and its brutal hierarchy, placing Lady Caroline in terrible danger and setting in motion events that will lead to a final bloody confrontation between a revenant army and humankind.

Hawkesmoor is the first book in a trilogy that will continue the eerie adventures of Robin Dashwood — a very British vampire.

Guest Review  Hawkesmoor: Novel of Vampire & Faerie by Anne Merino

Review by Sol A.

An entertaining read that draws a lot of inspiration from vampire stories of the same genre, ‘Hawkesmoor: A Novel of Vampire and Faerie’ is really everything that you could want in a vampire novel. Brooding handsome guy? Check. Romantic English country manor house? Check. Slightly naive but beautiful love interest? Check. As a long time lover of paranormal and vampire stories, this is like my catnip and Anne Merino executes it well as far as plotting.

The basic premise is this: Robin Dashwood is a former Earl (of the fancy, English variety) who disappears under mysterious circumstances one night in the 1700’s. No one in his family (including his former fiancée, Elizabeth) realizes that he was turned into a vampire. In present day, Robin lives a seemingly normal life in New York City working as a college professor. Normal, of course, except for the fact that he occasionally needs to drink blood to survive. But it is during the course of his normal routine that he gets invited to a showing at the Glockner Gallery of the assets of Hawkesmoor, his former estate and discovers that his ex-fiancée died suspiciously shortly after marrying his cousin 300 years earlier. Now Robin must unravel the truth behind Elizabeth’s murder and deal with his feelings of guilt for abandoning his family and his estate for all those years. Meanwhile, the new heiress to the estate, Lady Caroline DeBarry has her sights on figuring out the mystery behind Robin, himself all while trying to keep her romantic feelings for him at bay.

Like I said, this was a really entertaining read. Was it perfect? No but very entertaining nonetheless.  You will need to enjoy vampire stories to enjoy this but I would probably say that of any paranormal book. I certainly enjoyed it and I would love to read more from this author in future! 4 stars.

Sol A. received the ebook for his honest opinion.
