This book has been on my list to read for ages, I would look at it but never pick it up. My main reasons for wanting to read it was because of the awesome cover and my love of Gothic novels (plus zombies and corsets, lol). I finially pushed myself to read it because I managed to sag a hardcover copy of the second novel in the series, A Darkness Strange and Lovely, for about 2 bucks, and I'm glad that I did. I don't tend to buy books out of order, however, the cover was way too lovely (no pun intended) to pass up.



The zombies/spirits in the book were really cool, the idea of someone controlling them was well done, and even though I saw the twist coming it was awesome.

I recommend this book if you love paranormal books and want a quick read.
