What desperate steps will Lucy Westenra take to save her own life?
Hillingham in Hampstead, once the home of the well-to-do Westenra family, is now divided into apartments. When teacher Kate Balcombe sets about renovating her flat in the attic, she finds an unsent letter written 130 years before by Lucy, the nineteen-year-old daughter of the house.
You may know Lucy from Bram Stoker’s Dracula… a pretty, flirtatious girl with three ardent suitors, she is Mina Harker’s best friend. When Lucy falls mysteriously ill and dies, Van Helsing identifies her as a victim of the vampire.
But what if the monsters who hunt Lucy are much closer to home?
As Kate begins to investigate Lucy’s story, she meets James Harker, Mina’s great-great grandson, and together they uncover a long-hidden story of deception and murder.

Oooo this book was SO GOOD!!! One point of view set in London in the 1800s (my favorite!) the other point of view set in present day on the same property… an old letter is found… a mystery is unfolded… and as we travel back in time through the journal of Lucy Westenra, things start to get eerie and unexplainable.
There were hints dropped throughout this book that made the mystery so satisfyingly suspenseful. Are strange paranormal things really happening or is it madness? Is someone out to harm Lucy or is it all in her head. Can Kate uncover this mystery that took place 130 years ago or will she keep hitting dead ends?
AHHHH so good! You have to read it!!
