The vampire is fun, the men are embarrassing, the sisters are devoted, and the setting is mad spooky. I read this in a day, practically a single sitting.
I'm an identical twin and I endorse this book.

Strong elements of social commentary on the oppressive rigidity of Victorian era life and the burden of womanhood, but it wasn’t quite fully realized as a plot point. Could have used one more male character or more involvement from Mrs Van Dijck or Katje to flesh it out a bit more. Lucy and Sarah weren’t strong enough foils of each other to be the main duo.

A mix of gothic horror, family bonds, an illicit affair, socialism, misogyny, toxic codependency blended together and have me a creepy but exceptional read from an author I've never read before.
The author's note highlights a lot of triggers for readers, which I appreciated because it was a fair warning to the content of the story because once I got past the 20% mark it was non stop.
I had to pause reading at different times just so I wouldn't see the vivid images she created in my head before eating or sleeping because she rights with so much detail.
For me, this read as atmospheric due to the author's rich details, her world building, and the relationships but wow these characters are different shades of morally grey and that too added a complexity to the story.
Fantastic and creepy, and I would definitely read one of her other books.
