3/5

I’m a simple girl. I heard it’s a gothic vampire sapphic romance set in 1872, and I was sold.

I won't lie, I'm a little intimidated by the classics, which is why it took me a while to finally pick up this novella, but surprisingly, the writing style was quite easy to follow. The plot itself was boring at times, but overall the story was engaging enough that I managed to finish it in two days. The characters were interesting, and most importantly, the romance - which I know may not be the main plot of this story - although it was for me, made me blush a few times.

"she drew me to her, and her hot lips traveled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs, "You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one for ever."

Also, let's pretend the last ten pages don't exist and they both live happily ever after in some beautiful Gothic mansion with ten cats.
