The Madness

 This was a GREAT new take on a retelling of Dracula. A modern day vampire story with a superb feminist slant. Mina was very relatable. I thought that the way she had fled her home as a teen which led to her becoming a psychiatrist who wanted to help women was well-done specifically. The struggles she had with coping with her trauma.
As for the tense parts. The mystery behind her friend Lucy's condition, and the connection to a bigger story of a lot of women being in danger was gorgeous.  The kick-ass camaraderie of Mina, Mam, Quincey, and Singer was phenomenal. 
 The Welsh folklore was also a highlight for me. The only drawbacks for me were some things while overall satisfying were also expected. Not necessarily telegraphed but presumed that they were going to happen. I don't feel it took too much away from my enjoyment.
Great book HIGHLY RECOMMEND
