I mostly loved this.  

Part one deals with the mostly unnamed vampire.   She gives a fake name to a lover and uses it for a time, Maria.  She is in Buenos Aires during the yellow fever, which is an epic backdrop to the horror she creates.   When a man, a short-lived lover, finds out her true nature, he captures her and takes a picture which haunts her into the very century we are in now 

Part two follows a woman with a dying mother and a young son.  This seems to take place in the present .  This part was frustrating to me because I had all the earlier excitement with part one, and this just felt a bit too morose and was hard to get into.  Plus, I really wish there was more explanation with the ending because that was especially interesting to me.

Out March 5, 2024!
