This is a beautifully written novella about a vampire named Alice Ann and her sister Hannah Grace. They have been vampires since the 19th century. Throughout the novella, Alice Ann remembers her parents and the farm she lived at before her parents were murdered and she and her sister were turned, as well as grieves for past and present losses. Some of the major themes in this book are grief, loss, and family (both blood and chosen). This has now become one of my favorite vampire books. And even though I very much enjoy vampire books that have sex and romance, I appreciate that this novella contains no sex and very little romance. I will definitely reread this soon and seek out more of Scott J. Moses's work.
