Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post started by Breaking the Spine. It is a feature showcases upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I don't usually read books that are a retelling of Dracula, but every once in a while once comes along that catches my eye. iDrakula is definitely one of those times. It looks pretty interesting, and I'm really loving the cover art. :)
Title: iDrakula
Author: Bekka Black
Release Date: October 1, 2010
Book Summary:
18-year-old Jonathan Harker is diagnosed with a rare

This one sounds good Anna, I like the cover art too.
ReplyDeleteYour new background is so pretty!
Thanks Lea. :)
ReplyDeleteThis seems like such a natural evolving of the story. We've gone from letter writing to computers and e-mails, twitter, etc. Interesting concept that a dracula story could be re-vamped this way also.
