I’m a bit late posting as I’ve just about finished the story but what can I say? I was hooked from the first few pages on Opium and Absinthe by Lydia Kang.
It’s a compelling and touching tale in its own right, with a heroine I couldn’t help but love. It’s full of mystery, with hints of horror of the late Victorian kind, and supporting characters that draw you into their very well painted world.
Bonus: It’s also full of references to Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I had to pull it off my shelf and bump it up to next on my to-be-read list. Have I read it before? Yes. Is that going to stop me from reading it now? Nope.

Finished it last night. I highly recommend you check it out! Actually, read them both if you haven’t already. You won’t regret it.
