Bloodline

Bloodline by Kate Cary

I would give this 3 out of 5 stars.

John Shaw has been sent to the front lines for World War I.  He is very mystified by his captain, Quincy Harker, by his abnormal qualities. During the war John is injured and his is sent back to his home town in England to recovery.  Mary Steward, a nurse, takes care of John and becomes quite fond of him as well as John's little sister, Lily, who lives near by.  John now suffers from odd delusions from his time in the war.  In order to help him recover, Mary decides to read his diary which is filled with gruesome stories from the war and interesting tidbits about Captain Quincy Harker.

I actually enjoyed reading this book.  Normally I don't like when books are in letter form, but this is the book I really liked.  I liked the fact that it changes point of views because you get to feel what other characters are feeling. This book is supposed sort of a spin-off type of story about Dracula which makes this book a whole lot more interesting in my opinion.  I have never read Dracula, but someday I hopefully will.  It is set in the World War I era, so it is very interesting to read about a different time period.

I would say this is middle school and up. I would say this is like PG-11 because it is not PG, but it isn't PG-13.
