Quick Take:
An apt subtitle for this book would be "Vampirism: Good for the Body, Bad for the Soul." It's an enjoyable mix of Enlish high-society and paranormal intrigue, wrapped in some beautiful use of the English language.

Review originally posted on Bitten Books and given 5 stars.

This book was an absolutely brilliant blend of the best aspects of historical romance and paranormal romance.

My first Colleen Gleason book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The blend of historical and vampire genres was well done.

What's also interesting to the typical vampire lore, aside from the scarred backside, is that each vampire has an "asthenia", a unique element li ...more
