I loved this story and want to follow these characters for a dozen books. The twists were stunning and unexpected which were rare for me. I love the dapper era so this played my melody from the first page. Faizal writes vampires how I write vampires which makes her sublime storytelling both dazzling and sumptuous inviting the reader to devour her prose. 10s across the board!
