I was skeptical about reading a sequel to Dracula. After reading it I didn't believe it needed one after all. Since Freda Warrington has become my favorite author I, of course, gave the book a shot. As with like the rest of her work I was not disappointed. She brought out the romance that is rumored to be in Bram's Dracula with wonderful creative flow. I was very happy that they style was nearly like Bram's and still her own was able to shine through. I thought the story was creative and unique and even enjoyed the tension in Jonathan and Mina's relationship (stories like that usually drive me insane and stress me out but Freda pulled everything off nicely).

The ending well done! I absolutely loved how we were able to see the darker side of Scholomance and the imagery she managed was beautiful.

I highly recommend this book IF you must read a sequel to what is now one of my beloved novels, Dracula.
