The Quick by Lauren Owen

The Quick

by Lauren Owen

You are about to discover the secrets of The Quick –

But first you must travel to Victorian Yorkshire, and there, on a remote country estate, meet a brother and sister alone in the world and bound by tragedy. In time, you will enter the rooms of London’s mysterious Aegolius Club – a society of some of the richest, most powerful men in fin-de-siecle England. And at some point – we cannot say when – these worlds will collide.

It is then, and only then, that a new world emerges, one of romance, adventure and the most delicious of horrors – and the secrets of The Quick are revealed.

I really enjoyed this book! I wasn't bothered by the "twist", but I can see that if you were expecting one type of novel, and it suddenly became something else, it may be bothersome. Great debut novel!
