Dracula in Love
by Karen Essex
Well, I'm a huge fan of vampires. So when I caught a glimpse of this title on the library shelf, I grabbed it without question. And I definitely wasn't disappointed. This was a great work of fan fiction, a spin off of Stoker's famous Dracula. It has all the same dark Victorian drama, but with some added magic, some new characters, 21st century sex vocabulary, and a whole lot of feminine power. She took a book and an era that majorly squashed female sexual appetite and made it the focal point of this version of the story, told by by Mina herself, in which she and Dracula are immortal soulmates, destined to be together forever but constantly torn apart within each lifespan they live. I really enjoyed this book as the somewhat lowbrow fiction, dark chick-lit summer read that I was looking for. And though in my heart I wanted Mina to make the other decision at the end, I can't hold that against the author or the book overall.
