This was amazing. I had no idea what this would be about, I downloaded it for free a few months ago I think. I found it and started to read it on a whim.
I would never have thought that I would have enjoyed this novel about three disparate people, a long-buried vampire, a prison inmate and a university researcher. How would they connect? What's the story about?
I really enjoyed this novel and couldn't wait to get back to it. I'd like to re-read it in a year or two to see if I get more out of it. In the meantime, I wouldn't mind finding other books by this author to see if they are all this amazing or if this was a one-off.

Danni Telfer is a history professor doing research in Louisiana. Stephane Grimaud is a vampire who was buried during the Civil War and is awoken from his grave which is now situated in a prison yard. Antoine Dupre is an innocent man convicted of murder in the same prison. How these the lives of these three people (or not) intersect is the basis of this engrossing story.
The plot moves along with interesting sidetracks to Louisiana's cotton industry, slave trade, and Southern living in general. All three of the main characters are interesting as well as the many minor characters. I really enjoyed this book and I hope the author has plans to continue Danni's story.
