The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

When is it released: September 19th

What is it about?: They say the thirst of blood is like a madness – they must sate it. Even with their own kin.

On the eve of her divining, the day she’ll discover her fate, seventeen-year-old Lil and her twin sister Kizzy are captured and enslaved by the cruel Boyar Valcar, taken far away from their beloved traveller community.

Forced to work in the harsh and unwelcoming castle kitchens, Lil is comforted when she meets Mira, a fellow slave who she feels drawn to in a way she doesn’t understand. But she also learns about the Dragon, a mysterious and terrifying figure of myth and legend who takes girls as gifts.

They may not have had their divining day, but the girls will still discover their fate…

Why am  I waiting for it: Okay, so it appears vampires are in vogue again. But this sounds like a fascinating story, one which looks at the untold lives of the brides of Dracula, which sounds like a brilliant premise for a book. Also, the feminism sounds strong with this one, and that alone is enough to intrigue me, so I’m going to go ahead and add it to my TBR. Also, the cover illustrations and design is just stunning and I can’t stop staring at it.
