Being Mrs. Dracula by Faith Marlow
4.0
Being Mrs. Dracula was an excellent read and a fantastic look into the lives of the wives of Count Dracula.
This book starts off with a letter from Van Helsing to Jonathan Harker that tells the run-in that he experienced with the wives of the count.
The book is written in a diary format that begins with Valeria being married to the count. Like some of the other readers Valeria remained my favorite wife through-out the whole book. The betrayal that she faced from the Count made me feel so much sympathy for the things that she had to endure while this being her first marriage. Her relationship with the Count is so detailed that you can't help but feel all of the things that she is feeling while her story is being told. Wife 2 is Ilona and she is the complete opposite of Valeria and I was able to see why the Count chose her as his second wife. She had a great heart and while dealing with the issues in their marriage she was the true definition of a stand by your man woman and did this without a fight. As the dynamics of the relationship between Vlad, Val, and Ilona becomes peaceful, strong, and full of content Vlad brings in Wife 3 Fleur, who had a rocky start in the beginning and I can't say that I liked her because I feel the same way about her as the other 2.
This book took me on an emotional journey of love, betrayal, hate, and devotion and not just with the marriage to the count but with the relationships that the women build together and in time I was able to feel the pain and understand on a personal level how the women in his life felt about him.
I would definitely recommend this book to friends.
