Total Blood Sucker.
When I first picked up this book, I was hesitant about reading a book about West African Witchcraft and Vampires.
Ten pages in, I was hooked, at the vivid depiction about the potrayal of Ofori, a common village boy who is eventually transformed into a Mythical creature reminiscent of the Count Dracula.
The author does a great job in building elaborate and meticulously articulated scenes, that had me looking for an opportunity to continue the story at any opportunity I got.
Great story and looking forward to the next books in the series.
