This book could also be titled “The making of a Elizabeth Bathory”, and it’s as good as it sounds. It fits the original material well and the sapphic relationship integrates well in the pre-existing myth.

I really liked the audiobook. The narrator added to the flavour of horror and darkness written by the author.

Definitely a good read for fans of vampires in need of more queer rep.

This book was incredibly bloody, as can be expected from a Lady Dracula retelling. I have to say I honestly hated both main characters, and that made it hard for me to enjoy this book.  Obviously you are supposed to dislike Elizabeth, but I didn't find much to like about Anna either. I did enjoy the plot for a while, but ended up not enjoying the ending very much, as I thought things were resolved too easily.
