pandoraboxxy 's review for:
Dracul
by J.D. Barker, Dacre Stoker
This book sent shivers of excitement and fear down my spine. I’ve never read a book that makes me hold my breath, and be terrified to turn a page. Thrilling until the end.
Story recap:
Sickly child Bram Stroker is confined to his bedroom. His older brother has no time for him, only his sister and nanny visit - when not distracted with the new baby. Upon a particularly bad night of his disease, Bram is about to die. It is with the quick but mysteries actions of his Nanny Ellen Crone that he makes it through the night. Bram finally feels well enough to join the world, but Nanny Ellen disappears into the night. Bram and his sister go off to follow her into the night, but walk into a world of nightmares instead.
As they age Bram denies the events of that night , but his sister won’t let it go. Upon random spotting of their Nanny Ellen the siblings attempt to find her. What they find instead is far darker and more evil than they could ever imagine. Can they find their Nanny Ellen, and can they save their lives and the lives of the ones they love from ... him.
A story of love, for family and for lovers, death, mystery, the occult, and the unknown. Stroker and Barker weave together a twisted, thrilling and shrilling tale of Dracula.
Also, features strong well written female leads. Continues the same feeling of the original Dracula, by being written as a series of letters and diaries.
