This book has all the original characters from Bram Stokers original book but is written by another auther as a 'sequal'.
Written probably around 10-20 years ago. Roughly. The original members that killed Dracula remember the anniversary of the event only for it to unfold into a much bigger plot including the likes of lucifer.

Maybe Mina: The Dracula Story Continues by Marie Kiraly?

It was written in 2000.

Upon further perusal, Dracula: undead by Freda Warrington looks like a more likely candidate.

It's set seven years after the end of Dracula. The vampire is dead, supposedly, and Jonathan and Mina Harker are still haunted by the memories of that terrible time. Although it seems a bit improbable, the Harkers, along with the vampire hunter Van Helsing, decide that the best way to unclutter their minds is to go back to Transylvania; they join up with Emil and Elena Kovacs, bound for Transylvania to paint landscapes. Skipping to the meat of the story, it turns out Dracula isn't dead after all (there's a reason they call vampires the "undead," after all), and soon he's terrorizing Jonathan, Mina, and Van Helsing. The author sticks closely to Stoker's original format, telling the story through letters and journal entries, and the prose, while a bit purple at times, evokes the creeping dread of Stoker's own style. A worthy sequel to Dracula, though not destined to become a classic in its own right.
