What a deliciously creepy book. I haven't been able to get into any of this 'newish' wave of vampire books on the market. I am just not into romance novels. There is nothing romantic about this book. The setting is 1880's Victorian London. It was a hard place for poor people before the appearance of vampires and their presence only makes their lives even more miserable. An example: A women who keeps her children on leases and offers them to vampires to feed for a fee. 'YUCK'!!! I think bringing the terror of the vampire out of the shadows and making it everyday is what made it so creepy for me.
