Some interesting new characters, but it seemed like while there was a lot of action and drama...nothing much happened. I can't wait to find out the conclusion of the story in the next book!

I love the concept of this book. I love the idea of objects telling historical stories. It's my job, afterall. The book fell short of my expectations, being bland and a tad boring, even to me, a voracious reader, particularly about women's suffrage. So, interesting concept, and useful with a few articles, but not the best suffrage book I've read.

I don't think a book has made me this angry since the Red Wedding in A Song of Ice and Fire. This male author writes some of the dumbest, most irritating female characters who don't act like women. They act like men think women act.
While this takes place in the 1990s in the South, you'd think we were back in the 1950s, or Victorian times the way the women are ignored, belittled, and gaslighted. Even the women gaslight each other. The title makes you think it's going to be a lighthearted vampire romcom. This is a dark, awful, vicious and disgusting book.
