Blood to Blood: The Dracula Story Continues by Elaine Bergstrom, 3 1/2

Book description: After her second trip to Romania, Mina Harker returns to London -- finally free of Lord Dracula's spell. Building a new life for herself, she must find a place for her unleashed desires in her marriage to her husband, Jonathan. But Jonathan's nightmares signal that another of the vampire kind, one who has tasted of his blood, still walks the earth -- and is coming for him.

Review: Blood to Blood is the sequel to Mina. The story follows the characters from Dracula as their paths cross with Dracula’s sister, Joanna. This is a very good follow up to Mina but I found myself wishing it focused on Mina herself more. I wanted to read more about Mina’s troubled marriage and her charity work. Much of the book is about Joanna learning to live again without her brother’s influence. Joanna is an interesting character though and her story was enjoyable enough. I’ve really enjoyed the writing in this series and will seek out Bergstrom’s other work.
