I liked it, but
wish it went into more detail about Lucy and Bee's past. Especially since Lucy keeps saying how the books and movies don't accurately portray how their life was. The beginning was also a little slow, but it definitely picked up towards the end. I liked how Kiste drew parallels to the victims in horror and how they (especially women) are often a footnote in the main story of the killer/antagonist. The ending where Lucy, Bee, and Mina set all of Dracula and Rochester's victims free in the afterlife was really interesting as well. I would definitely want to see a sequel.
