Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil

Beautiful Maria grows up wild and wily, and she wishes to get out of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. She knows it is very unlikely this will happen as all women are pawns in the games of men. However, she meets a stranger who gives her an alternative to being a wife and mother. Maria grabs it with both hands and vows never to look back.

1827. London
Charlotte has lived a cloistered and idyllic life until she is sent to London for an indiscretion, and here she meets a mysterious and beautiful widow. Unfortunagely the price of her freedom is too high…

2019. Boston
Alice moved halfway across the world to start anew, at college. After a one night stand, which is out of character for her, she starts questioning everything. She hunts for answers, and searches revenge.

This book was amazing. The characters were all so different and yet so compelling. I loved every single minute of it! This has to be one of the best vampire novels I’ve read in a long while!
