I loved the first three books so much, it was a given I’d pick this up. The first three were such a trilogy structurally, and this does somewhat continue that storyline, but focuses more on Marcus and Phoebe. I didn’t personally love a lot of the gory details of becoming a vampire, but I’m working on loosening my hold on those phobias. The other half is historical fiction set in late 18th C America, which Professor Harkness does so well, unsurprisingly. It was honestly interesting to read about inoculations and infectious disease of that time period. I didn’t realize how much damage smallpox did to Washington’s soldiers. If you’re into this series, vampires, and/or Revolutionary War historical fiction, you’ll enjoy this. Otherwise it probably won’t appeal to you!
