Synopsis
"I'm in your blood, and you are in mine…"
The Netherlands, 1887. Lucy's twin sister Sarah is unwell. She refuses to eat, mumbles nonsensically, and is increasingly obsessed with a centuries-old corpse recently discovered on her husband's grand estate. The doctor has diagnosed her with temporary insanity caused by a fever of the brain. To protect her twin from a terrible fate in a lunatic asylum, Lucy must unravel the mystery surrounding her sister's condition, but it's clear her twin is hiding something. Then again, Lucy is harboring secrets of her own, too.
Then, the worst happens. Sarah's behavior takes a turn for the strange. She becomes angry… and hungry.
Lucy soon comes to suspect that something is trying to possess her beloved sister. Or is it madness? As Sarah changes before her very eyes, Lucy must reckon with the dark, monstrous truth, or risk losing her forever.

Une bonne lecture mais sans plus, bien dans son genre. La façon dont l'autrice traite ici le mythe du vampire change un peu de ce que l'on connait et c'est surtout cette seconde lecture, du vampirisme à travers la relation entre ces jumelles, qui m'a plu. L'atmosphère est présente en soit mais ca aurait mérité d'être plus appondis de ce coté là via les descriptions pour mieux ressentir l'époque.
