I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  Set in 1795 Wales, it's a cod gothic featuring Emile Dubois, a dashing French emigre and highwayman and his true love Sophie.Sophie is a poor relation and is companion to the Dowager Countess, Emile's aunt.  When Emile visits his aunt, he recognises Sophie as the girl he fell in love with in Paris eight months ago.However, Sophie can't remember their meeting before.  When Emile is tempted by the neighbouring seductive Half Vampire, their romance seems doomed.Throw in time-travel, Sophie's Brave Fight against the evil neighbouring vampires who want to use Emile for their own ends along with a romantic subplot featuring Sophie's loyal maid Agnes and Emile's brother-in-arms Georges, this is a rollicking, fast paced Gothic that is a fitting tribute to the Gothics of the late 1700s.Will Emile remain a Half Vampire? Or can Sophie save him?  (You'll have to read the book to find out!)A 5 star read!I received a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
