Very fast paced and an enjoyable read. This is the fifth in a series and having not read the others I was a little lost in the backstory but will definitely go back and read the others!

Nicholas Drummond and Michaela (Mike) Caine, along with MI5, MI6 and Covert Eyes are on the hunt for someone killing off major political figures and the reason as to why they are dying. Also intertwined within the story is the mysterious Voynich Manuscript and where it come from and what it means.
Catherine Coulter and J T Ellison have collaborated to write a fantastic series. The story keeps you going n the edge of your seat. Full of action and drama with every turn of the page. The story details and explains great historical markers in England which helps in visualizing where everything is taking place
I absolutely loved this book! I have enjoyed Catherine Coulter and AJ T Ellison’s books separately, but I really enjoy them writing together. I highly recommend this book and the series.

Nick and Mike (Michaela) Caine are taking on a hacker of unknown intelligence that is trying to shut down London and other countries. The beginning starts out with a Dracula story and it keeps revolving around that.. People are dying and Nick and Mike start seeing weird things like falcons that have cameras and drones that are killing people. They need to stop this before all of the people in power are killed and the world is shut down.
The book was ok. A little to fantasy for me.
Received this book as an ARC for my honest review.

Falcons Drones and Deception. I enjoyed the suspense in this book. This was my first exposure to this series. I think the book stood fine on it's own and I will explore the others. Sometimes it was a little choppy and hard to follow. But I will read more.

This was another great entry in this engaging series. The plot was fast-paced and the characters are captivating. I absolutely adore Nicholas and Mike. The supporting cast was engaging as well. I enjoyed Nicholas interactions with his father. The story advanced our understanding of the characters and made me want more. The theory behind the crimes as creepy as was the villain. A really enjoyable novel. I can't wait for the next one.

These books are like crack! Outlandish and kinda ridiculous at times, but I can't give them up. This one had twins, cyber warfare, vampires, the voynichese manuscript, drones *and* falcons, and it was amazing and crazy and I loved it. I'm not sure if the book would stand alone to someone who hasn't read the earlier books in the series, but I suspect it's fairly easy to pick up the important stuff.

Did not hold my interest from the very beginning, there are far too many books to read to waste time on one that I don't care about right out of the gate.

It was good to read another book about the adventures of Nick and Mike. This one intersperses the history of Vlad Dracul III, vampirism, Romanian gypsy lore, possible ties to Rasputin and Bram Stoker with modern day cyberwarfare and very futuristic drone technology.
The plot was quite enjoyable and very fast paced but sometimes, it was hard to keep track of the various intersecting plot lines. I was fascinated by the whole mystery about the Voynich manuscript and how it was ingrained into the evil twins in the story.
My only problem was that the various interactions in the book didn’t feel right , especially the ones between Nick and Mike felt very off and sometimes even silly and not really like them.
But overall, this is a fun read, especially for the fans of the series and I flew through the book in a single sitting.
