"I belong more to her than I do myself. Is that not love?".

This book was as gothic as you could serve, a story that mentions the power of blood. The romance was extremely sensual (teehee), but unfortunate at the end. I enjoyed this book a lot, gave four stars for how fast paced it seemed at moments. A decent gothic thriller

A lot of continuity issues and pacing issues. 

The story definitely kept me interested, regardless of perhaps feeling a little rushed in some parts. I feel in some cases that things were left to the readers imagination that would have been more well suited if Henderson spent more time on that storyline then maybe the sex scenes. Don't get me wrong, those were cool but at times, it just felt recycled. Countess, fingers, blood. Yeah yeah yeah, okay. I've heard this like 5 times before. Also, feeling on the other bloodmaids' beauty felt excessive at times. Things could have been better prioritized. Still, I enjoyed the story.
