Take Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, shake it up with a bit of steam punk, and magic and you still would not get the same results Carr did. She has taken on a whole new side of the classic and crafted a tale of two sisters who are opposite sides of the same shadow. There is no tale of good and evil here but of urges repressed and desires muffled beneath the miasma of serums and lies. Truth buried to hide a lattice work of greed and crime that reaches to the top echelon of a society that could not begin to understand the machinations that are falling into place around them. The truth will not set you free but ensnare you deeper into the pits of hell from which it reaches out a hand to brush the fevered brow of one sister and throw daggers at the other. Keep the devil you know close and kill the devil who knows you before it's too late. Creatures of the night are in fear of sisters marked to be the harbingers of a new age of terror. Something wicked this way comes and it's ready to prove it's love, however it needs too.
Grab this first in the series, snuggle in and satisfy that wicked spot in your soul that cackles in glee when the shadows envelope you. It will not disappoint.
