From the very first page, this book was stunning. The writing was so descriptive while flowing so nicely. The setting was described beautifully, and the character development was next level. Very atmospheric and spooky, while being historically accurate. 

I wanted the FMC and MMC to just sit down and talk about their feelings sooner in the story, but I think it worked out the way it should. The vampires as a metaphor for colonizers' use of weapons was great.
