WHO WOULD THIS BOOK APPEAL TO
Those who enjoy historical fiction. The heavy topics in the book are one to watch out for, slavery being the central theme. Horror fans can unite with a fresh vampire story. Also, it can look appealing to those who enjoy fantasy but want to dive into the darker side. With complex characters and action-packed storytelling is a blend of horror, history and social justice.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Whoa, this historical horror set in a Southern Plantation in 1710 covers some heavy and uncomfortable topics all whilst blending in vampire lore. I had an emotional time with his book and its topics as the set up is a necessary evil. Being witness to these acts against the slaves sets the tone for why the main character makes the choices and the extreme measures he takes to gain freedom. Over all this book is one to look out for!
