I enjoyed every twist and turn and was fully invested in the lives of our characters. There were definitely times when I thought I knew where the story was going, and I'm genuinely happy that I was surprised by the overall turn of events. I also fangirled a bit with some of the easter eggs from 'A Beautiful Poison' that were included in this book.

Neotřelý a lehce detektivní příběh inspirovaný Draculou od B. Stockera, se v době jeho vydání zároveň odehrává. A jelikož mám Draculu hodně ráda, nemohla mě tato kniha jen tak minout. Četla se mi, až na pár zádrhelů, poměrně dobře. Bohužel hlavní hrdinka Tillie, která je hodně zvědavá a zároveň velice naivní mladá žena, se zde, alespoň pro mě, stává poměrně kontroverzní postavou. Věci, které mi výrazněji vadily, se totiž týkaly hlavně jí a její povahy. Ale i tak jsem velice ráda, že se této knize dostalo překladu a měla jsem možnost si ji přečíst.
