very well-written and fast paced tale
This was a very enjoyable read, from its action and attention to detail to the very different take on Robin Hood. I recommend this and the whole series.

Vampire Outlaw. Dan Davis
Book two in this epic adventure and action filled saga. It's time period and many of the characters initially are composed of characters based on the adventures of Robin Hood. The primary character and others are vampires. This tale centers on the capture of William Dr Ferrers the evil vampire. The primary character Richard of Ashbury is in constant pursuit of him but William always manages to barely slip away and escape. Book two is another excellent read which I enjoyed immensely!!

Good Guy / Bad Guy / Huh? / Turned Outlaw / Good Read
The only reason I'm not giving a five star is the amount of intolerable spelling errors. For Heaven's sake. span and spun are mis-spelled twice back to back. Oy. It's not American English or HRM English, just bad proof reading. Sigh. Otherwise, I like the plot. I'm near the end of the second book and I am enjoying the series. Said to know that the next book may be a bit further away. I'm hoping that the next book comes forward a few hundred years. I'd hate to be permanently stuck in the 1200s.

Well done!
I enjoyed the story very much! The way it is written encompasses several fictions while following a very historical narrative! The book has a good flow as well!

Where's the audiobooks
I was really starting to get into this series but only the first two book are on audible. When or are the rest of the books going to be on audible?

Extremely powerful
I stumbled upon book one by accident, and loved it. This ongoing tale of Sir Richard's adventures proved even better.There are numerous excellent reviews giving more detail than I do here, be assured they are right on the mark - this is a powerful and truly ingenious spin on Vampire canon, you will be transported back to the 1200s and experience Knights and Armor, blades and blood...I really can't wait until the skillful Mr. Davis brings out book three.

Gorgeous, gory and gloriously gripping.
I was hooked even more so than the first book, which is rare indeed.The intertwined history and story were thoroughly enjoyable. Our hero having flaws and making mistakes was realistic and engaging. I would still like more explanation of the mechanics and origins of the vampirism but it isn't a deal breaker. I was also impressed with the editing and lack of mistakes.I'm looking forward to the third book.Recommended.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this book by accident
I'm so glad I stumbled across this book by accident! The author definitely knows history and writes an engaging, well-paced story. The characters are written well and with the excellent story telling makes for a great read. As others have already stated, I too would like to know more about the blood and more background on how that all came to be. Here's hoping the third book will delve more into that aspect.

A historical novel with a twist
This is a highly entertaining adventure story which mixes history and fantasy. The premise of a knight who is part vampire is well handled and has a clever twist on the normal vampire stories which keeps it fresh. The historical side is solid and although this story focuses partly around the myth of Robin Hood it is the rich detail of this period of King John's reign which I liked best. All this though is background to a cracking adventure story with well drawn and likeable if flawed characters. A jolly good read and I look forward to the next instalment in the series.

History, Knights, Robin and his Merry Men, plus Vampires!!
I've been really draw into this story, simply by Dans great writing. At first I thought book one was a bit of a strange mix for all this kind of stuff, but by the end of this book, I can't wait for the third book to appear. These books would make one hell of a movie too, so produces take note and give us something original for a change, instead of rehashing all your old movie franchises over and over again. Anyway, time to get on my helm and suited and booted for book three. Charge!!

New take on the origins of a classic legend.
All the best bits of the first book are present in this one. The first book set the stage and this one just improves on the already interesting characters. Set in England in 1216 this tale of revenge revisits one of the classic settings in folk lore, Sherwood Forrest. The main character, Richard, is on a personal mission of revenge. He is an honest character written into a detailed, rich and believable world set in historical events that blend seamlessly with the fiction of the story. Despite Richard being a bloody ruthless killer, Dan Davis made me personally sympathise and relate to him. The internal struggle between his hatred for William and the love for his friends and family provides plenty of interesting and tense moments. This book is full of action, historical turmoil and bloody violence that is sure to keep you reading and I can't wait for the next instalment.

Page turner!
I couldn’t put it down. Not usually a fan of this genre but it’s the perfect blend of historical fiction and fantasy. I’m big fan of historical fiction - Simon Scarrow, Conn Igulden, Robert Fabbri, Angus Donald etc. So I’m not really sure what lead me to read a book with vampire in the title but I’m so glad that I did. Really enjoying this series and can’t wait to start the third instalment! Please keep them coming.

Actually made me grimace in pain......in a good way
I discovered Dan about a year ago and started following him on social media while reading all his previous work. I know from his posts the amount of research he puts into historical eras and this really comes across with the attention to small details in his writing. This book is a clever twist on a very famous set of characters and I cannot wait to see where the story goes next in book 3........
