The Tugurlan Chronicles #1
Vampire Iniquity
When Dan Tugurlan is recruited to help his best friend and martial arts instructor find his missing fiance', he had no idea that he would have to go up against a den of vampires to get her back. He also didn't know he came from a long line of vampire slayers. Vampire Iniquity is the first book of the Turgulan Chronicles. It’s a tale of loving and finding love. It tells of family legacy and solidarity. It speaks of friendship, loyalty, bravery, compassion, and I’m sorry to say… horror. This story is not for the weak of stomach or faint of heart.

Sheehan’s book starts with a fascinating premise. What if Bram Stoker had really met a vampire. Not the famous Vlad Tepes, but something else. Something darker, and more sinister. Her story follows the life of Dan Tugur, vampire hunter, martial arts master, and our guide into the world he inhabits. The first person narrative provides a compelling backdrop and allows the reader to discover what is, and is not, real along with Dan.
I can call him Dan. He feels like a friend. And that is entirely due to the authenticity with which Sheehan brings him to life. She eschews the first person narrative when she brings the vampire’s coven to life. Instead, viewing them from the outside. Their leader, a soulless, in every sense of the word, immortal named Dragomar, is the kind of character who personifies evil. Gleefully, and fully aware he has no match among mere mortals. His bloodline, if you will, is his sole concern. She flips back from the first person narrative to an outside view as the story moves along. It gives the book a natural feel, giving the reader a chance to see things Dan does not. At least not right away.
From the very beginning, when we meet Dan’s best friend, and teacher, Shen, to the very end, with one of the quietest endings I’ve ever read, Sheehan does a wonderful job bringing Dan’s tortured world to life and allows the ramifications of his existence on those who know him to play out realistically.
Side note; knowing a vampire hunter is dangerous.
There are a couple of rough spots grammatically but none were enough to make me want to stop reading or cause it to lose a star. And, when done, I must admit I wanted to know more. If this is the first book, and it is, then this series to come promises to be entertaining and terrifying. Not a bad combination.

Eileen Sheehan’s Vampire Iniquity Book One (Turgurlan Chronicles Trilogy 1) is a good vs evil story with lots of twists and turns. The bad guys, mostly vampires, but not all of them, were very, very bad, using humans barbarically to strengthen their bloodline.
It’s not a typical vampire story, but the author revisited the legend of Dracula in a clever way, adding interesting elements that had implications for all the major characters in the story.
There were also good humans – particularly the narrator, Dan and his friend, Shen, both accomplished marshal artists. And good vampires (or almost vampires) who worked with the Dan and Shen to escape from and then return to the vampire den.
It was an exciting, topsy-turvy, unapologetic adventure well worth the read.

Such a great book. This authors imagination astounds me. This book has New yakes on vampires as well as the same legends we've heard. Its got everything I could want. Love, loss, mystery, hot guys who know martial arts and lots of action.
Shen is a master martial artist and has taught his friend and student Fan. Shens fiancee is abducted while coming to the US from China. Dann and Shen take off to try to find\rescue her. On the way they find out things about themselves and the world they never thought possible let alone true.
This book is told from Dan's point of view but also sometimes it reads like a journal of Dan telling us what his friends told him of their experiences along the way.

Over the last several months I have read several of this authors works and this has to be my favorite so far. The premise of this story was intense and so interesting. The characters were so well developed and the interaction between them made this a great book to read. I love to read books about vampires but this one was unique.

Definitely not your usual vampire story. Told by the point of view of a vampire hunter. Lots of twists and turns. They run into human trafficking and cannibalism using their martial arts to fight them. There are vampires and mutant vampires. Great characters. Look forward to the next in the series.

I wanted to yank a few characters from the book and give them a dose of what they'd dished out. With that said, this was a really great book and kept my attention.

Listened to the audio. It was good, a little different than most vampire novels
