![]() ![]() ![]() This is more of a jumping off point for something else. I find it frustrating when people try to reinvent the source material. “Silver in the Blood” draws focus to the protectors (Florescus) rather than the vampire legend. The choice is clear they must fight.Īs far as the storyline and the plot behind it, Jessica has taken a familiar subject - Dracula -and made it her own. ![]() The girls want nothing to do with the family tradition, but when Mihai Dracula sets his sights on Dacia as part of his plan to secure power over all of Europe, the cousins have only two options - go along with the plan or fight back. The Florescus aren’t just shape-shifters, they are the servants of the royal Dracula family. For Dacia and Lou, this revelation is almost more than they can bear. The cousins are no longer on the hunt for society partners, but rather husbands approved by the Florescus, who happen to be shape-shifters. Finding a suitable match is their purpose, but even that is suddenly up in the air when they are sent to Romania to meet their mysterious relatives, the Florescus. Cousins Dacia and Lou are spoiled society girls from New York City. Jessica departs from the princess genre in “Silver in the Blood,” her latest novel for young adults. Jessica Day George is one of the reigning “fairy tale authors.” She’s best known for her Twelve Dancing Princesses and Tuesdays at the Castle series. “Silver in the Blood,” by Jessica Day George, Bloomsbury USA Childrens, July 7, 2015, Hardcover, $17.99 (young adult) ![]()
