Ah, this book was a delightfully creepy trip and a half. Following along with #Dracula’s Lucy and #JaneEyre’s Bertha, this book explores the real cost of immortality, and the lies and machinations of the men that trapped the two in eternal life. I’m not much of a horror fan at all, but this book was gruesome at times and had a serious gothic feel, it felt more melancholy to me than anything else. Fast-paced, very well-drawn, and fascinating.
