Russian Vampires
Recommended grades 7-12. Duchess Katerina of Oldenburg has a lot on her plate. She wants nothing more than to become a doctor, but in the high society of Tsarist Russia, she is expected to marry a prince. Her prince turns out to be anything but charming, as he comes from an evil family of sorcery and blood-drinking. Author Robin Bridges recreates an imperial magic filled with magic; good and evil. Katerina must choose a side to protect everything she cares about. The Gathering Storm (Delacorte, 2012) is Twilight meets Anna Karenina. Fans of Twilight will definitely want to check this out, but Twilight nay-sayers should check it out too. Bridges carefully researched Russia and writes artfully. The characters are true flesh and blood (no pun intended!). Highly recommended, ****
