A beautiful gothic novel that begins in Spain in 1532. And it’s about vampires. Not like Dracula, but stunning beings who search for something more. An epic story that goes past 500 pages and makes you feel everything. I’ve been waiting for VES to give us something akin to Addie LaRue and she’s finally done it!!! Book #73 in 2025

I liked it, for a vampire book. Although I did not like it as much as the Invisible life of addie larue.

This is my second book by this author and I'm just in awe of the beauty of her writing. This follows three different women. Throughout this story you get each ones history (past and present), what shapes/molds them, and their deaths. Each woman is different but they all carry some form of grief, have a certain loneliness and a need for understanding in the world and leaving their lives they live behind. This was a very enjoyable read. It's filled with loss, adventure and love. It's not the soft, mushy, butterflies in the stomach type of love but one filled with teeth, want, need, desperation and ownership. Without spoilers as the story goes one certain character becomes more like a predator or perhaps it's the years of life draining the humanity out of a person. All three of these women are selfish and unkind at times. I found myself wanting to feel bad for some of the characters but also not really.
