Blood Sinister

http://www5.scholastic.co.uk/zone/images/jackets/c-rees/blood-sinister.jpg
Ellen Forrest is sick, she feels as if the life is being sucked out of her. The doctors think that she is suffering from a disease of the blood, and she has been sent to her grandmother's house to rest, but she seems to be getting worse, not better. Can it have anything to do with the diaries she has found in the attic? Diaries written in Victorian times by her great great grandmother. Diaries that describe an encounter with a handsome young Count who comes from the Land Beyond the Forest.
This book, as it says in the synopsis, it's vampire fiction. But none like Twilight (which is about "fake" vampires), this is something real, a vampire hidden in a noble man. You will follow Ellen unraveling her past great great grandmother, also Ellen. It was very easy to get into even at the very beginning, it was so interesting and mystifying. It was written with both imagination and sincerity, a tale from the supernatural. A truly remarkable story, if you like vampire stories, this is for you. I give extra credit for the magnificent detail in ‘flashback’ scenes. There were loads of twists and turns to the story that I didn't expect! You can relate to the characters and I loved how the book kept flicking backwards and forwards from the past to the present. It's quite chilling, some horror in it, so I recommended this for 13-15+ book.
WARNING: DO NOT read at night !

  1. I'm not a fan of vampire stories or anything but this book sounds pretty interesting.
    Is it in the library or is this a book you own?
