London, 1890. Mina Murray Harker, the rosy-cheeked, quintessentially pure Victorian heroine, becomes Count Dracula’s object of desire. To preserve her chastity, five male “defenders” rush in to rescue her from the vampire’s evil clutches. This is the story we have been told. But now, from Mina’s own pen, we discover a tale more sensual, more devious, and more enthralling than the Victorians could have ever imagined. From the shadowy banks of the river Thames to the wild and windswept Yorkshire coast, Mina vividly recounts the intimate details of what really transpired between her and the Count—the joys and terrors of a passionate affair, as well as her rebellion against her own frightening preternatural powers.

"If you love the original Dracula novel and mythos - do not read this book. It bastardized everything and even went out of it's way to villainze all the male characters from the original, making them greedy, perverted, and downright awful to read. Also being an American already means you're a villain in this one. Additionally, The pacing is terrible, you have 200 pages to slog through before you get to anything of real note. If I want to read a good vampire book, I'm going right back to Dracula. "
