Reviews

"Deliciously macabre . . . The rural Victorian setting is evocative, and the vampire threat palpable. While Lepore's tale does come to a nail-biting climax, her compelling characters are not finished with their missions, and so will continue their vampire slaying in future books, which will surely please readers." -- Booklist (starred review)"An atmospheric, gothic tale that immediately grabs readers . . . unforgettable." -- Kathryn Smith, USA Today bestselling author"Old-fashioned vampire fiction--with a little postmodern feminist updating--makes a comeback . . . Lepore successfully captures the mood of traditional gothic fiction, complete with soggy moors, murky religious orders, ancient ruins, dark secrets, and plenty of general mystical weirdness, and complements it with a strong female protagonist. -- Publishers Weekly"Lepore captures attention with a well-crafted vampire/Gothic. The plot is mesmerizing and the characters wonderfully portrayed, embracing readers so well they will easily surrender their disbelief. This stellar novel will have you clamoring for more." -- Romantic Times BOOKclub
