Bloodline
by Kate Cary

Imagine being in bed and having nightmares for 2 months straight, only for these dreams of reality to be true the effects of paranormal specimens on the mind can be quite effective. Bloodline is a book that you think is going to be your typical go to Transylvania kill a vampire win the war etc. etc.
This book puts a twist on your typical horror story by twisting your mind with fear. Here, let me explain. Throughout the book the main character, John, is being haunted by Dracula's descendants. After he is hospitalised the dreams start:”I can upon a scene I will not forget for an long as I live” (25). I really like this aspect of the book.
Something I like is the way the book is structured with multiple journal entries of each character. This makes it easier to read for some readers with the ability to distinguish characters when normally you would need to be able. This would happen 100 times throughout the book.
I would highly recommend this book with the ability to say that it was a great read and I was able to understand it. The plot of the book was great it to a twist that was slightly foreshadowed and was just a great book.
This book was supposed to be a sequel to Dracula by Bram Stoker in 187 .
The only bad thing about this book is the setting. However, it's expected. The book starts during WWI, then the hospital and, you guessed it, Transylvania. Most vampire books take place at Transylvania, so you can be able to tell the book end at Transylvania

Lastly, I think the book was a great it was an interesting read with the ability to tell a great story also able to be distinct with the characters, and at the same time having a great plot.
