I loved Maxine her strength and inner resilience was very apparent. There were also familiar names woven into the narrative that I again recognised but even with that inclusion of covered ground this still felt so fresh and original. It brought something so unique to this instead of just traversing old familiar paths. Instead allowing this to belong to Vlad and Maxine and their burgeoning affections. I also loved how this focused on the developing feelings and relationship dynamic of Vlad and Maxine while at the same time showing the hunters intentions but not making that the focus here. The prose and language were just so lyrical and old-worldly. I've always loved the gothic atmosphere that Dracula imparts and I felt that this author managed to capture the whole flavour of that era brilliantly. It was an old classic reimagined with a new spin and a fresh voice that shone brightly throughout.
