"I'm in your blood, and you are in mine . . ."
The Netherlands, 1887. Lucy's twin sister Sarah is unwell. She refuses to eat, mumbles nonsensically, and is increasingly obsessed with a centuries-old corpse recently discovered on her husband's grand estate. The doctor has diagnosed her with temporary insanity caused by a fever of the brain. To protect her twin from a terrible fate in a lunatic asylum, Lucy must unravel the mystery surrounding her sister's condition, but it's clear her twin is hiding something. Then again, Lucy is harboring secrets of her own, too.
Then, the worst happens. Sarah's behavior takes a turn for the strange. She becomes angry . . . and hungry.
Lucy soon comes to suspect that something is trying to possess her beloved sister. Or is it madness? As Sarah changes before her very eyes, Lucy must reckon with the dark, monstrous truth, or risk losing her forever.

Loved It!

Johanna van Veen’s writing is exquisite, poetic, haunting, and deeply emotional. The sisterly bond between Lucy and Sarah is the heart of this story, and it’s both beautiful and devastating. Add in some seriously chilling body horror and a slow-burning descent into madness, and you've got a gothic horror masterpiece that stays with you.
Be warned: it's intense. There's gore, grief, obsession, and some dark themes—but it's handled with care and literary grace.
I finished this audiobook in one day and immediately wanted to listen again just to soak in all the language and detail I might’ve missed the first time. It’s that good
