So after reading all the reviews I was looking foreward to this book and it sounded interesting and good. This book wasn't really BAD for me, it was just dead boring. There was nothing super unique about the story, except that it's a paranormal written in the Victorian era, which I'm not a huge fan of. But that could have worked if I hadn't felt like I'd read this story a million times already except in a different order...It really did follow the very typical damsel in distress from evil vampire and then she becomes empowered routine. Plus I felt no connection with the characters which is really what draws me into a story. Overall, I wouldn't waste your time.
