Blurb:


Mina wants to escape her sheltered life. Blue needs a fresh start. Together they might find the satisfaction they both crave. Mina has spent the last five years being house servant to her three older siblings- Arthur, Quincey, and Lucy, under the thumb of her volatile Admiral father, But her entire life is changed in an instant--when she is almost run over by a mysterious black horse-drawn carriage.

Count Vlad “Blue” Draugr flees his castle in Transylvania after an unspeakable act draws too much attention his way. Now secluded in his rural English estate, he finds himself drawn to a most unlikely creature. The sweet and innocent Mina Van Deem from the neighboring estate. Unable to get her out of his thoughts Blue wants nothing more than to make her like him – a vampire. But Blue’s thirst for blood keeps him from fully trusting himself to keep his fangs off her neck.

In an act of desperation, Mina runs from her dysfunctional family and escapes to London. There she finds more than solitude in the sooty city streets that are alit with whispers of a string of recent bloody murders--she finds Blue, waiting for her, tempting her, stalking her. And as she falls deeper under his spell, Mina learns that some creatures lying in the shadows of London's underbelly are more enticing than she ever thought possible.

Those who crave the dark passion of Dracula and Crimson Peak, Dracula’s Bride will be your new favorite.

My Review:

Dracula's Bride is the first book in a new series Immortal Monsters by Rebekah R. Ganiere. Dracula's Bride reminds me of all the Dracula stories of course but it also reminds me of Cinderella. When I started reading Dracula's Bride I couldn’t take my eyes off the page or at least I didn’t want to but everyday chores made it hard not to.

Of course, Dracula's Bride is about vampires but also about so much more. Dracula's Bride brings together a man or should I say a vampire, Blue, and a woman, Mina who takes care of her father, two brothers, and sister. Mina is the youngest of the family and takes care of cooking and cleaning for her family. Sound familiar? They treat her like the evil stepsister in Cinderella.

Mina and her sister Lucy go into town to do the weekly shopping for the family. While crossing the street Mina is almost run over in the street. But at the last minute, the drive manages to get the horses under control. Mina is drawn to the man in one of the carriages. She later learns that this mysterious man in the carriage has moved next door to her and her family.

Mina and Blue are instantly drawn to each other from the very beginning. Mina thinks a lot about what she wants in a relationship. She wants love and passion. I believe Blue feels the same way Mina does.

Mina gets fed up with her brothers and sister and takes off to London shopping to get away from them for a while. In London, someone is going around killing people. When Blue learns that Mina took off for London he follows her there.

Mina is a good person with a big heart. She never complains about taking care of her family. But her family can be very cruel sometimes. Mina tries to give them chance after chance but there is only so much a person can take. Can Mina find a better life for herself? Can Mina and Blue find what they are looking for in each other?

The story of Dracula's Bride will grab your attention from the first page and never let go, at least it did mine and I think it will be yours. Once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down until you have read the last page and not even then. I wonder what is waiting for us in the next book in the Immortal Monsters series. I know I can’t wait to find out.

I enjoyed reading Dracula's Bride way more than I thought I would as I have not been into vampires or other paranormal creatures lately but I do sorely love reading anything Rebekah R. Ganiere has written. Rebekah is one of those authors you don’t have to read the summary of one of her books to know that you want to read it.

I highly recommend giving Dracula's Bride a chance as I know you will love it as much as I did. Grab a copy of Dracula's Bride today or any of Rebekah’s books!
