Bloodlust & Bonnets<\/a><\/em> (2019) Emily McGovern<\/p>\n

\"Bloodlust<\/a><\/p>\n

Set in early nineteenth-century Britain, Bloodlust & Bonnets follows Lucy, an unworldly debutante who desires a life of passion and intrigue\u2014qualities which earn her the attention of Lady Violet Travesty, the leader of a local vampire cult. <\/p>\n

But before Lucy can embark on her new life of vampiric debauchery, she finds herself unexpectedly thrown together with the flamboyant poet Lord Byron (\u201cfrom books!\u201d) and a mysterious bounty-hunter named Sham. The unlikely trio lie, flirt, fight, and manipulate each other as they make their way across Britain, disrupting society balls, slaying vampires, and making every effort not to betray their feelings to each other as their personal and romantic lives become increasingly entangled.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I picked this up months ago, and couldn’t get into it, so decided to just finish it today.<\/p>\n

It just wasn’t for me.<\/p>\n
