"I'm in your blood, and you are in mine…" The Netherlands, 1887. Lucy's twin sister Sarah is unwell. She refuses to eat, mumbles nonsensically, and is increasingly obsessed with a centuries-old corpse recently discovered on her husband's grand estate. The doctor has diagnosed her with temporary insanity caused by a fever of the brain. To protect her twin from a terrible fate in a lunatic asylum, Lucy must unravel the mystery surrounding her sister's condition, but it's clear her twin is hiding something. Then again, Lucy is harboring secrets of her own, too. Then, the worst happens. Sarah's behavior takes a turn for the strange. She becomes angry… and hungry.  Lucy soon comes to suspect that something is trying to possess her beloved sister. Or is it madness? As Sarah changes before her very eyes, Lucy must reckon with the dark, monstrous truth, or risk losing her forever.

    See? This is why the protagonists of vampire books are always protestants. A catholic or christian person will keep the stakes inside the body. And the tomb intact.

    (Mentions her other book, My Darling Dreadful Thing) This author really likes to write about bogs. I wonder if there's any correlation between this and My Darling Dread Thing, considering that whole story was based off turning the dead into ghosts by preserving their bodies in a bog. Maybe these two will be connected somehow, or maybe the author just likes bog bodies haha
