Dracula the Undead by Freda Warrington
2.0
I really want to love and finish this book but i can't. I'm disappointed. I keep waiting for that "Yes! This is deliciously exciting, give me more!" moment to happen, and it hasn't. I've read two books in between this one as I'm bored and dissatisfied with the telling of this story.
The story is set several years after the supposed death of Dracula. It casts many of our favorites from the original. Mina is as hapless and blah as ever, which is sad, you'd think she'd have gained some "character" after her previous ordeal. Unfortunately, she hasn't, nor has anyone else in this story, really. The new characters in this telling are the only ones with any "character" worthy of praise.
This book struggles with wow factor. After reading "A Dowry of Blood" by S.T. Gibson, this is pretty dull and dissatisfying.
