Right, so this wasn't a bad read necessarily, but all of the main characters are dumbasses. They are all fooled so easily, and they're so blind to the obvious (which, okay, vampires are much more known nowadays, bit still) and they also disregard Mina because she is a weak woman, which is the whole reason why Dracula gets to her in the first place. So yes. Dumbasses. And Mina is so clearly written by a man, it hurts sometimes.
