2-18-11 Immanuel's Veins by Ted Dekker - Fiction

4 - This is a retelling of the Dracula tale with a more religious and romantic bent. The tale is standard in that it takes place at the Carpathian Mountains and deals with vampires, but instead of Mina, Lucy, and Jonathan Harker, the main characters are a set of privileged twin girls, two military men in service to Empress Catherine of Russia, and a noble Russian family. This is also a definitive love story focusing on the love between Lucine and Toma and how love can defeat evil. A nice change to the classic tale.
