Weighing in at 160 pages, Camilla Packs a punch!

An isolated castle deep in the Austrian forest (you just know something creepy and amiss is going to happen!), Laura and her father live alone. Until one night a horse drawn carriage crashes and the occupant – Camilla steps out.

And so, it begins……

Laura and Camilla become friends but then Camilla begins to behave strangely, she is up at night wandering around while an ever-weakening Laura begins to have nightmares.

A vampire tale – YES please. There has always been something dark and sexy about vampires and this book is no exception. There is sexual tension and light horror.

This is a fast easy gothic read. Perfect for this time of year.

Thank you to Pushkin Press and Edelweiss who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
