Synopsis
On the streets of White Roaring, Arthie Casimir is a criminal mastermind and collector of secrets. Her prestigious tearoom transforms into an illegal bloodhouse by dark, catering to the vampires feared by society. But when her establishment is threatened, Arthie is forced to strike an unlikely deal with an alluring adversary to save it—and she can’t do the job alone.
Calling on some of the city’s most skilled outcasts, Arthie hatches a plan to infiltrate the sinister, glittering vampire society known as the Athereum. But not everyone in her ragtag crew is on her side, and as the truth behind the heist unfolds, Arthie finds herself in the midst of a conspiracy that will threaten the world as she knows it.
Thoughts
I did not expect to like this one as much as I did! And now I am left wanting book two in the Blood and Tea duology. This young adult paranormal story is fast-paced and offers a little something for everyone. From humor and romance to action and twists, it is an entertaining book to get lost in. The historical fiction angle adds some depth to the plot. This book gets bonus points for great side characters, too!
