idk ms kingsley just has a way with writing that has me reading everything by her and this one I remember was decent it was a nice change of scenery from the more fantasy type books I had been reading, this one was more historical-paranormal.

“When this world burns to dust, and the sun swallows it whole, I will have seen all of humanity come and go before me. I can control the nature of the world around me. I am expert in what is real, my darling. If you are a dream, then it is one from which I do not ever wish to be woken.”


Historical setting. Slow burn. Dark and delicious. A totally believable Dracula retelling. He is a real villain in this book, in all the best ways.


“You are more fleeting to me than a flash of a firefly in the night. Barely will I even have registered that you exist before you are gone. Even if you were to wish for my eternal kiss, you will fade to dust before I can do little more than blink. All things drop away from me and are gone. You observed it as such, did you not? All to me is as sand within my grasp.”
