Dracula in Love by Karen Essex

Pre-Order on Amazon

Summary:

Karen Essex turns on the heat in this transporting and darkly haunting new tale of love and possession that puts forth the question: What if everything you knew about Dracula . . . was wrong?

My Review:

Word of warning – do not read this book when you are out say.. babysitting and have to leave the house at 11PM.

I jumped at every. little. noise.

That said… Wow. This was quite the read. Michelle Moran, on the cover, dubs this the “Twilight for adults” and in a way, she’s right. Only in this case, Mina.. as the new Bella, is not quite so chaste.

Wow, I’m still trying to wrap my head around this book.

Okay, so for those of you younger readers, this is really, really steamy in parts. Don’t fall for the Twilight hook – this is definitely not as tame as Twilight (those are words I never thought I might say). But for those of you adults who want a “real” vampire story, one that includes dark, mysterious characters and focuses around the Sidhe and the old stories of powerful female vampires – yeah this is the book for you.

Dark, spooky, horrifying (blood transfusions and strait-jackets anyone?) and filled with a romance that will make you shiver and look over your shoulder.
