Dracula: Hearts of Stone (Vampires, humor, magic and romance) Other books in this series Dracula Hearts of Fire, Hearts of Glory, Hearts of Ice, Hearts of Magic, HEART of a child wizard: Book 1 of 6 Kindle Edition
It sounds like "Dracula: Hearts of Stone" by A.J. Gallant is an absolute ride — a fresh, hilarious, and unexpectedly emotional take on the classic vampire tale. You've got Dracula at his lowest, dealing with depression, existential dread, and family drama, while also somehow being laugh-out-loud funny and still a total badass. Throw in a soul-swapping cat, evil vampires on the loose, and a vampire sheriff squad, and you’ve got a unique mix of humor, magic, and adventure.
The quotes from readers really highlight how this version of Dracula hits different — he's ancient but relatable, cynical but lovable, powerful but plagued with everyday problems like love and friendship. And apparently, he’s got a sharp, sarcastic wit that keeps you laughing even as the plot throws you curveballs.
Also, the whole Dracula’s friend gets trapped in his cat’s body subplot? That’s such a wild and brilliant twist. Totally sets the tone for a book that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still delivers a solid story.
Have you read it, or are you thinking of picking it up? Because this sounds like the kind of book that could easily become a favorite for vampire fans who want something totally different from the usual dark-and-broody fare.

From the Author
The Siamese cat Moon Diamond continues to make me smile and I hope it does the same for you.
The 3rd book should be released sometime in November 2012, or even a bit sooner. Thanks for the support; it is greatly appreciated.
An author without readers is like a bird without wings.

A Personal Note
When he isn’t writing, A. J. Gallant is kept busy by two very clever cats—Sun-Jade and Moon Diamond—who make sure their author wakes up early each morning.
Sun-Jade has learned that turning a doorknob opens the door and isn’t shy about reminding anyone nearby. Moon Diamond prefers a more theatrical approach, occasionally riding on the author’s back—his personal “elevator”—to reach the desk.
Together, they make certain the writing day begins bright and early.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2013Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis Novel was a bit all over the place. I was not sure what I got myself into. A couple Typo's that Made me growl. Though over all a great book. Dracula made me giggle with his Down and out ways. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something new and Loves vampire novels.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2013Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThere is so many different points of view in this book that it would be extremely hard to write a synopsis without giving a lot away. But basically there are a bunch of evil vampires running around causing trouble. Everything pretty much branches off of that fact.
I was really amused by this book. I wasn't expecting much, I had a a bad run of books, but got more then I bargained for. The beginning dragged a little, but once it picked up it keep with a nice pace.
Dracula was by far my favorite, I wish the story focused more on him. Though I did love Moon Diamond was well. . .you could have cut everyone else out of the book and I would have kept reading just because of them.
It got a little confusing because there was so many different characters, at times I had to stop reading and think back to who was who. . .I know I got two of the major bad guys mixed up a lot, they where both fat, ugly guys that like pretty much doing the same things.
I liked how the book kept to a lot of the vampire legends, but changed some as well. I loved that the vampires weren't all lovey dovey with humans. I'm very tired of reading books like that.
There were a few errors in the book, but nothing so bad that it bothered me much. It just tends to stick out to me when dialogue starts with an " but doesn't end with one. . .I tend to get confused as to if the person stopped talking or not.
For the most part I really like this book, it was refreshing to me to finally find something worth reading to the end.
Would I recommend this book? Yeah, it was pretty good.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2013Format: KindleVerified PurchaseCan't wait for second book. Very intense very good story line and descriptions of characters, I do hope second is as good
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2016Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe story has many characters, and I must confess that I found it a little difficult to keep track of who was who. Dracula is very entertaining and his relationship with Piers Anthony (yes that Piers Anthony) was definitely a highlight of the story which centers around Dracula wanting to kill himself, a young girl with mysterious powers and a bunch of Vampire thugs that want to kill Dracula. Oh yes and there's a Vampire dog!
I enjoyed this book and I'm sure I will enjoy the next one as well. I want to find out what happens to the characters and what, if any, progress they make. I would encourage the author to find a new editor though as I found a few errors in this book, and the Countess doesn't cope well with typos. It'll be interesting to see where the Author goes with this series.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2012Format: KindleVerified PurchaseLiked this book. Stumbled upon it while it was free, but would have paid for it as well. Quite the money's worth; one of those rare occasions when you feel you did not go wrong with an indie.
