Editorial Reviews

"Madera has given us a different take on vampires and servitude. We follow two sisters, Linda - who seems really clueless to everything, and Laura - who feels like the unwanted sister. Laura's father treats her like a young child, instead of the young women she is. They're creepy uncle comes the day after their father dies, telling them that England is now going to be home. Indie, or self-published books, are doing good in the book world. Madera's book is no different!"

"I love the twist and turns this story takes. Not knowing where the story was going to end up made this a great book for me. I love reading stories that are set in the Victorian era and I'm a huge fan of classic literature. Being a fan of Sandra Madera's short stories, I was excited to read this novel. This story captured my attention right from the beginning. Tragedy, mystery, suspense, survival, horror and just a touch of romance."
