Title : The Story of Lucius Cane Author : Vanya Ferreira Genre : Vampire Date of Publication:   February 9, 2016 Number of Pages: 25 (Pdf)   About the book: It tells about a vampire known as Lucius Cane. The story is based on city London of the year 1794. Then we get to know about Jack Hound who is a semi-wolf which is the result of an incident or one can also call it as an accident.

But, after reading the first book I just thought one thing that the second book is going to hold some pages which might be tore from the first version of the series.The first release of the series is an incomplete work. One reader may get it as both boring and an excitement creator which would make one tell 'What happened then?' For me, it was like a trailer of...
