Two hearts. Twice as vulnerable.

Manhattan, 1850. Born out of wedlock to a wealthy socialite and a nameless immigrant, Cora Lee can mingle with the rich just as easily as she can slip unnoticed into the slums and graveyards of the city. As the only female resurrectionist in New York, she’s carved out a niche procuring bodies afflicted with the strangest of anomalies. Anatomists will pay exorbitant sums for such specimens—dissecting and displaying them for the eager public.

Cora’s specialty is not only profitable, it’s a means to keep a finger on the pulse of those searching for her. She’s the girl born with two hearts—a legend among grave robbers and anatomists—sought after as an endangered prize.

Now, as a series of murders unfolds closer and closer to Cora, she can no longer trust those she holds dear, including the young medical student she’s fallen for. Because someone has no intention of waiting for Cora to die a natural death.

The main character has a lot of grit and independent thought during this time in history. Bodysnatching for scientific research always makes for great Victorian storytelling. Especially for those with unique conditions. This story line kept me intrigued and on edge. Especially as the story progressed. Great read and one of my favorite narrators.

This is a well written story. The groundwork was laid, and the ending ties it all together in a very surprising way! It's October, and this would be a great read to get into the Halloween spirit.
