It is 1888 and Queen Victoria has remarried, taking as her new consort Vlad Tepes, the Wallachian Prince infamously known as Count Dracula. Peppered with familiar characters from Victorian history and fiction, the novel follows vampire Genevieve Dieudonne and Charles Beauregard of the Diogenes Club as they strive to solve the mystery of the Ripper murders. I kind of lived in prejudice my whole life so I’m always going to judge my own actions like there were someone else’s. And this was the case with this book but hear me out: it has a childish vibe that I wasn’t sure my almost-adult brain would approve of, despite the fact that was definitely gory. Multiple ashes found within the fireplace at 13 Miller's Court suggested Kelly's murderer had burned several combustible items to illuminate the single room as he mutilated her body. A recent fire had been severe enough to melt the solder between a kettle and its spout, which had fallen into the grate of the fireplace.

I have been a devourer of fantasy all of my life. With a bookshelf that grows more overflowing by the year, I just can’t get enough. That combined with the many classes I've taken on writing, tension, and incorporating fantasy elements, make me the perfect candidate for finding all three in the perfect story. I live in a daydream created by the written word and even win writing awards with all that I've learned and applied. There is nothing I love more than the perfect pairing of twists and tension in fantasy stories, something I continue to add to my own stories!

[32] Thomas is another male character I’ve recently fallen in love with and at this point I just have them coming like that. He has a huge sexy brain, an equally huge but less sexy ego and a huge and even kind of sexier shamefulness, which me likes. He’s also terribly cheeky but gentle at the same time. How can one not add him to the never-ending “book-love-interest” list?
