BLURB

Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 1532.

Boston, 2019.

Three young women, their bodies planted in the same soil, their stories tangling like roots.

One grows high, and one grows deep, and one grows wild.

And all of them grow teeth.

‘It is a lie that you only get one story.’

Stunning… 
Masterpiece….

I’m a fantasy reader and vamps are my jam so I wanted to read this book because a) Schwab is like a gem, and b) I wondered what her vamps would be like!

This is going to sound strange but I feel like I’ve grown up, matured like a fine wine, reading this. Will I be able to go back to my normal fantasy vamps? I hope not, this book is a rereader for sure!

In different places, different times, we have 3 lady vamps and we get to know their stories, their loves, how they survive, their lives and how they are woven together.

To say I loved this would be an understatement! Another hit from VE Schwab!

‘Bury my bones in the midnight soil,
Plant them shallow and water them deep.
And in my place will grow a feral rose.
Soft red petals hiding sharp white teeth.’


Sound like something you’d like?
