Everything is in the title. I expected a story in Gothic style, deep and exciting. I found myself with a young woman too perfect to share his ridiculous desire for revenge. This does not hold water, it tends to trap itself. It is smart enough to get all but unable to control his emotions and acts impulsively. I also expected to more realistic descriptions, for example-castle, as well as more characters "accessible". In this novel, they are all beautiful, big and strong. Certainly, we are talking about demons, vampires and other creatures but it seemed too stereotyped. But all this is just my opinion, you can not like everything.
