“There was beauty in it still, the way imperfect things can be beautiful, but it was a beauty of a dark and fading kind.”
A gothic Victorian horror with an interesting plot and its own take on vampires. The story follows Lucy as she has to make the decision on how far she’ll go for her twin sister Sarah.

Gothic horror is usually one of my favorite genres, but this one wasn’t doing it for me
The story seemed to allude to vampirism both in the first 1/4 of the book and the blurb on both Goodreads and StoryGraph. It was not that at all. I think it was closer to the anime Parasyte.
I don’t think I could love anyone enough to love their parasite driven zombie body….
I thought it was cool to have a bog mummy, and also a character named Lucy, even if they were the same character. The historical parallels were pretty cool!
The fact that Art-ur (Arthur?) know that Lucy had been seduced my Michael and didn’t explain his reasons. Ugh. Men. I think Lucy could have had a very different life if she’d have known. And I think a lot of things wouldn’t have happened. But hey, the lies of men ruining things? Nothing can be more historically accurate.

I will say this book is erroneously labeled as a vampire novel, and while it is supernatural - it is not a vampire.
