This book was SO FUN if a little long in the prose department.


Our heroine could have been a little less “NLOG” art girly, it didn’t add much to the story for me BUT 

I loved everything about Frederick Fitzwilliam, his

his relationship with Reginald and the vampiric fear and fascination of

“Tick Tock” / the “Tick Tocks”

The third act was 🤌
