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 canโt 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 weโve come to know each of these characters intimately to that point.
This duet is satisfying. Masked MC. A real romance with 4 unique MCs and a real back story thatโs unique and fun. A real side plot with some intrigue and danger. I loved it.
