Review: I would give it 7 stars if I could
Rating: 5 out of 5

An adorable, elaborate, beautifully written, almost unpredictable novel. It begs to be filmed and is written with such vivid colors and language of the period that it would make even the dullest of minds imagine and almost watch as opposed to merely reading it. With many boring vampire cliches cast aside, the story is also beautifully multi-layered - given that each fairytale is but a composition of psychological symbols. This one is overflowing with images of a powerful triangle that psychoanalysts call the tyrant-victim-protector triangle. It is an ornate tale of someone painfully ridding himself of his inner demons and tormentors in order to recreate himself so he is able to meet his true love of life and transform him into a better being in the process as well. There is no crueler torturer than our inner hangman and our inner unresolved, suppressed traumas. This story makes you believe that the right purpose can drag you through the most horrible odds to clean yourself off of it. Given just the right portion of romance, romantic atmosphere and the "happy ever after" moment, this thriller will keep you glued to it until the very last line. A truly unordinary gem of a book. Thank you, T. Baggins!!!
