Midnight's Daughter (Karen Chance)

Dorina Basarab is a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Unlike most dhampirs, though, Dory has managed to maintain her sanity. Now Dory's vampire father has come to her for help— again. Her Uncle Dracula (yes, the Dracula), cruelest among vampires, has escaped his prison. And her father wants Dory to work with gorgeous master vampire Louis-Cesare to put him back there.Although Dory prefers to work alone, Dracula is the only thing that truly scares her—and when she has to face him, she'll take all the help she can get...

I admit that it took me a little bit longer than normal to truely get into this story. This is a spin off from Karen Chance's Cassandra Palmer series. I think I picked this one up too soon after reading Curse The Dawn. It kept making reference to Mircea who is a pivotal character from that book and I wanted to follow his story, not his daughter's.

I did finally get involved and enjoyed the conclusion. I am wondering what is next in the books for Dory.
