Elisa has just visited a beautiful and strange place called Duskland. She finds all its inhabitants interesting and falls in love with Leonhard after just a short time. She is pulled from Duskland to rejoin the living, but she is still not safe here. Her husband wants her dead and will do anything in his power to find her. With the help of new friends Elisa has the strength to fight back and in the end she must choose between living and the afterlife.

The book started off slow but once it picked up it was really enjoyable. Duskland was unique and had that eerie/dreamlike quality to it. I loved the Victorian Gothic vibe throughout the whole story. The illustrations are gorgeous. The author has a great imagination!

Ooooooh!  

Pretty, pretty art!  

And yes, I'm also enjoying the story so far, although it's only been one short page, then a break for the art.   The acknowledgements and chapter index took up quite a few pages, although that's understandable.  

I'm looking forward to more of this, though. 

I won this!   There were a lot of entries, and not that many copies available, so super excited!
