So way back when I first ran into In the Hall with the Knife by Diana Peterfreund on Edelweiss, I also stumbled in to Blood Countess (RUN DON’T WALK TO GOODREADS AND ADD IT TO YOUR SHELVES). And geeked out AGAIN. Abrams must think I’m some kinda loser geek- not they are wrong, really, but beside the point.
Anywho, I’ve been waiting for what feels like FOREVER to get this
Historical YA horror novel based on the infamous real-life inspiration for Countess Dracula
Authored by Lana Popovic Harper, who previously penned the Hibiscus Daughter Series. This is sure to be an exercise in making reading a combat sport!
Before showing you the bloody lovely cover and all the information needed, let me take a minute to thank Abrams for listing me as an ARC recipient once they are ready to go!
Title: Blood Countess
By: Lana Popović
Release Date: January 28, 2020
Publisher: Amulet/Abrams Books
Synopsis:
She receives wages generous enough to provide for her family, and the Countess begins to groom Anna as her friend and confidante. It’s not long before Anna falls completely under the Countess’s spell—and the Countess takes full advantage.
Isolated from her former friends, family, and fiancé, Anna realizes she’s not a friend but a prisoner of the increasingly cruel Elizabeth. Then come the murders, and Anna knows it’s only a matter of time before the Blood Countess turns on her, too
“RUN DON’T WALK TO GOODREADS AND ADD IT TO YOUR SHELVES” — silly. This implies that I don’t already just live on Goodreads. 😛 Which I obviously do. How else will I keep my TBR from taking over the world, if not vigilance? Oooh, that does sound like a really good read, though!
Hahaha….. fair point! We might as well both set up a cabin there.
Oooh! I mean this sounds pretty good. And after reading the deathless girls I’m looking for more vampire/Dracula books to add to my tbr ????
What is this Deathless Girls Book I’ve been hearing about now FFS?????
Great pick!
Whaaaaat?! I want to read this!!!!
YEESSSSS! Take all my blood… I mean money!
