Dracula, My Love

The Secret Journals of Mina Harker

De: Syrie James

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Syrie James approaches Bram Stoker's classic Dracula with a breathtaking new perspective - as, for the first time, Mina Harker records the shocking story of her scandalous seduction and sexual rebirth. Who is this magnetic, fascinating man? And how could one woman fall so completely under his spell?

Mina Harker is torn between two men. Struggling to hang on to the deep, pure love she's found within her marriage to her husband, Jonathan, she is inexorably drawn into a secret, passionate affair with a charismatic but dangerous lover. This haunted and haunting creature has awakened feelings and desires within her that she has never before known, remaking her as a woman.

Although everyone she knows fears him and is pledged to destroy him, Mina sees a side to him that the others cannot: a tender, romantic side; a man who's taken full advantage of his gift of immortality to expand his mind and talents; a man who is deeply in love and who may not be so guilty of evil after all.

> Yet, to surrender is surely madness, for to be with him could end her life. It may cost Mina all she holds dear, but to make her choice she must learn everything she can about the remarkable origins and sensuous powers of this man, this exquisite monster, this...Dracula!

Reseñas de la Crítica

“With its poetic, 19th-century prose style, this tale about a fierce, forbidden romance will appeal to even the most jaded romance fan.” ( Library Journal)

“James gives readers an intriguing alternate theory as to the events that occurred in Stoker’s classic horror tale while at the same time delivering a spooky yet thoroughly romantic love story.” ( Chicago Tribune)

Great story from Mina’s point of view

The author retold the Dracula story from Mina Harker’s more romantic perspective that brought into play the many conflicts, emotions and desires She has between the world of the living and her undead lover.

Good! But that ending....

Honestly this was a good one. It’s a nice spin off of Dracula. But I have to say *SPOILERS!* the ending? Like come on. I wasn’t to happy with it. Why can’t D get the girl? Ugh. Ok enough with that. Over all the story was good. Just wasn’t happy with the ending.
