In The Dragon’s Staircase, former FBI agent Alexa Kyndall is called in to consult on an old case that still gives her nightmares. She’d convinced herself that she’d killed the vampire doctor Julian Frederick, but a new string of brutal murders shows just the opposite. Alexa has the notoriety of being the only person to come face to face with Julian and live to tell about it. Going back to the bureau is the last thing she wants to do, but the life of a small boy is on the line. Noah Tate witnessed a murder and former marine Craig Pierson is determined to see him safe. In a race to uncover the murderers, Craig and Alexa team up. But their newfound love is threatened.

The Dragon’s Staircase by McKenna Grey and Everly Archard is romantic suspense full of thrills and spine-tingling moments. For a moment there I really believed the vampires could be real. Fans of Hannibal Lecter will definitely enjoy this read. In The Dragon’s Staircase, you’ll find Hannibal’s diabolical strategy, hiding in plain sight, and the ability to manipulate minds, great and small. I found The Dragon’s Staircase to be very insightful when it came to police procedures and the mad genius of modern day psychopaths. The twist at the end is as unexpected as it is disconcerting. There’s no obvious ending for this one as the story keeps you guessing at every turn. This is a great start to a series that promises to be full of wonderful surprises.
