From the bestselling author of A Beautiful Poison comes another spellbinding historical novel full of intrigue, occult mystery, and unexpected twists.

New York City, 1899. Tillie Pembroke’s sister lies dead, her body drained of blood and with two puncture wounds on her neck. Bram Stoker’s new novel, Dracula, has just been published, and Tillie’s imagination leaps to the impossible: the murderer is a vampire. But it can’t be - can it?

A ravenous reader and researcher, Tillie has something of an addiction to truth, and she won’t rest until she unravels the mystery of her sister’s death. Unfortunately, Tillie’s addicted to more than just truth; to ease the pain from a recent injury, she’s taking more and more laudanum...and some in her immediate circle are happy to keep her well supplied.

Tillie can’t bring herself to believe vampires exist. But with the hysteria surrounding her sister’s death, the continued vampiric slayings, and the opium swirling through her body, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for a girl who relies on facts and figures to know what’s real - or whether she can trust those closest to her.

This book is awesome. At first, I thought that it would fall victim to a few genre clichés, but it honestly managed to pleasantly surprise me with some of the details, that is, the characters. The protagonist is charming, the cast of characters three-dimensional, there's no needless woman hate. Also, the story is well thought out. I had a lot of fun with this novel. The only bit of criticism I have is that the narrator was woefully inept at pronouncing German and Yiddish. Otherwise, she did a great job bringing this book to life. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Lovely
