Hauntingly beautiful. I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did, but it was a great vampire novella. The kind of book that I think I’ll randomly think about a lot. So atmospheric for spooky season!

This book to hold of me from the first page and never let go the writing was so delicious and wonderful I couldn’t put it down. I fell in love with everyone and just wanted them all to be happy and cared for. I was so enthralled I truly believe this is a work of non fiction and that Constantine, Maggie and Alexi are real and are out there in the world. I’m just so utterly entranced by this book and I can’t wait to see what the author brings out next
