If you are even a casual fan of Dracula you owe it to yourself to read this.

Charlotte Cross did something amazing here. This feels like it will be a classic of the vampire genre. The way it fits in with the original story while ELEVATING it is truly something special. I can’t imagine ever separating the 2 in my head again.

The pace is slow, similar to Dracula, and every slow moment was used to heighten the tension and increase the payoff of the end of the book. Some words and phrases towards the end become so uniquely cutting and devastating because of the the ways we’ve come to know each of these characters intimately to that point.

I really, really loved it.

This duet is satisfying. Masked MC. A real romance with 4 unique MCs and a real back story that’s unique and fun. A real side plot with some intrigue and danger. I loved it.

Childhood friends to lovers. MMFM/M

Some Omegaverse knowledge is needed so I wouldn’t suggest this be your first foray into the genre.

What a genre entry though! The relationship is different but so cute, sweet, and thoughtful. The detective plot isn’t as strong as the relationship plot but it’s still there and good/interesting!

It was just a really good time and makes you want to hang out in this world where this sweetness can happen!
