This book takes the character Mina from Bram Stoker's Dracula and gives her side of the story. I found the book quite enjoyable. I thought the characters were well done and the scenery vivid. It was quite more than I expected. Dracula was not a monster according to Mina's version. Van Helsing & Seward were more scary than Dracula. The part of the book about the asylum had me cringing. Even though the title seems to hint of a romance novel, it's really only a little part of the book. Dracula doesn't even truly show up until much later in the book. The only part I didn't really like about the book was towards the end it got a bit confusing with all of the spiritual elements colliding together and the scene at the castle kind of ended more abruptly than I would have liked but other than that it was an enjoyable read.
