I read this for a book club, so would not be what I would choose normally.
I like how this book is written, and the flipping of the Dracula story on its head taking it from the perspective of those closest to him.
Main thing that knocked the marks of is that I didn't particularly like the short chapters, I understand it's a style choice made for the type of book it is but it's not something I liked too much.
