Now I realize it looks like one of the masses of vampire/fairy books.

Why wouldn't they? Donna, let me know what you think1

But I can't help but be worried by a very petty little worry about the quote viz pressing flowers into a book--I am having a hard time imagining that books would be used thus in Tudor England! I hate it when my brain fixes on such a small detail, casting a pall on the whole book. It sounds like a good one, and I might well look out for it!

The cover feels more paranormal to me. I've been in the mood for another historical—definitely one to check out. Thanks! You know, I had no idea what this book was about!
