Dance in the Dark by Megan Derr

1.0

It just wasn't my cuppa.
First mistake was listening to this book. I don't enjoy Paul Morey as a narrator. Second, I prefer my stories to be romance first, and mystery as a side dish to the main entree. This story was mystery with a side salad of romance. I don't enjoy mysteries so this book was just a bad fit for me.

Johnnie was adopted by Dracula after Dracula's wife murdered Johnnie's parents. Johnnie was a human so his father hired a bodyguard to protect him from the supernaturals that may seek to harm him in order to get to Dracula.
Johnnie is more Dracula in mannerisms, but at the end of the day he is mortal human. Johnnie yearned to distinguish himself as more than human and more than Dracula's son, so he became an investigator of supernatural happenings.

When Johnnie's friend asks him to investigate a pair of missing shoes, Johnnie is introduced to a mysterious supernatural. He doesn't know this person's name but they end up having a sexual encounter. Johnnie now has to also figure out whom his lover is.

I never connected with Johnnie and I had a suspicion of whom "Eros" was. So that mystery wasn't so suspenseful for me. I just didn't enjoy this story but I have decide that it must be the writing. This is my third Megan Derr book and I don't believe I've ever rated her story above a 2-star.
