Loved this! Loved the drama! How dramatic our main character was while being naïve, but not in a way that made her insufferable. She was this way because she was protected by her father and because she was spoiled but also because she was a woman at this time. how everything evolved, the atmosphere around it.. *chefs kiss*

This book was so unbelievably gay. I know Fanu was probably wrote it this way as anti-homosexuality morality play but honestly if it wasn't for the last 30 minutes of the book, it very well came off as a romance. But atlas, the ending is tragic but comparing this to Bramstroker's Dracula, I have to say it's better.
