I am BACK!!!! *yes, you should ALL run now!!* I am finally done with my pharmacology final and now I will start the painstaking slowly road getting back into things; I have books to read, reviews to write, emails to respond on, giveaways happening on my Facebook page and books to write! Ok, really - back to schedule!!! I thought I would start with this absolutely amazing book - ENJOY!!
I thought
Being Mrs. Dracula was brilliantly written, and was more than happy to dig into
Being Dracula’s Widow. I was hoping it would be just as good, but got a
wonderful surprise when I discovered it was even better!
Over ten
years have passed since that dreadful night where Van Helsing killed her entire
family. Well, not everyone, because no one was thinking of poor little Emil in
the castle. Valeria got to him in the nick of time and she has been keeping
both of them safe since then. The years pass and Emil is growing up to be a
young man. To make sure Emil gets a career and learns to behave in society,
they move to Brasov, where Emil becomes an apprentice at the local publishing
house. For a while, everything seems to be going fine, right until the moment
where Emil comes home one night carrying a book. Now this isn’t any book, but
the very book of Bram Stoker; Dracula. Somehow he has gotten the whole story
from someone as has written it down AND published it. You can imagine how Emil
reacts to certain parts of the book, parts that Valeria has tried to hide from
Emil.
Long story
short; Valeria finds herself without a home, tossed out and alone. Determined
to find the ones responsible for the death of her family and for revealing a
secret, Valeria sets out to get the revenge she has been craving for years. Her first stop is in Paris, Fleur’s hometown.
Just as she is trying to pick up the pieces of her heart and move on, she
stumbles over a young man named Lamond. The question is, will he be enough to
distract her from her vengeance, or will her quest lead her to her doom?
I can’t
even begin to describe how amazing Being Dracula’s Widow is. Valeria was my
favorite wife of Dracula. To follow her, see her trying to move on after Emil
threw her out… But she isn’t so forgiving. Not towards the hunters who killed
her sister wives, to the author who wrote the damn book that sold her out, nor
toward herself. When she meets Lamond he turns her world upside down, and she
can feel herself starting to fall for him. Unfortunately, she still has some
unfinished business with Van Helsing and Harker, not to mention Bram Stoker.
Seeing how
Stokers book was being used as a guideline, a map to find them all – that was
cool. Seriously. LOVED the ending.
Faith made
a wonderful continuation of Being Mrs. Dracula filled with heartache, sorrow,
despair, hate, desperation, but also with hope, love, and forgiveness.
Can’t wait
to read more by Faith!!
