This is a new take on the history of Dracula. Told by the young teenage girl who lives with her father. Her father, Paul, travels all over the world for his foundation. One day while she's at home she's in her fathers den and sitting on the desk is some papers and a book. She opens the book and the only thing inside it it a picture of a dragon. She is curious but, isn't sure she should ask her father about it.
Her father Paul, has been raising the young girl on his own since his wife Helen had left or disappeared. Its up to him to raise her and protect her from the bad things in the world. What he doesn't realize is that she will be the one to help him find the one thing he wants, his wife, Helen.
His daughter starts asking him questions. she wants to know what the book and papers mean. So, he does what he knows best and starts to tell her stories that are true. Dracula is one charater that has been written about a few times. But, he doesn't explain that to her. He starts with his time when he was young and still studying at the university.
He begins by telling her about his Professor Rossi. How smart he was and how he told him about the meaning about the book he has. He also told her that he disappeared right after doing that. He explained that he had stopped looking into the meaning of Dracula for a long time, but that wasn't true. He wanted to find Helen and knew that there was only go to be one way to do that. It was for him to continue looking for Dracula and in doing so, he might get lucky and find his wife, Helen.
The story pretty much tells you in letters that her father had left for her to read. What her father doesn't know is that she decides to try and find him. Is she smart enough to figure the whole thing out and find out where her father is or will the danger of doing so cause her harm or death. Maybe, her father can't be found. You'll just have to read the book to find out.
Its an almost 700 page book and it can get a little slow at times. I think its worth reading.
Sorry, it took me so long to get this post up. I had been sick so, its hard for me to read.
Well, I'm off to start my next book. Remember to read a good book, you never know what just be a new favorite.
