”Because you are the only person who has seen me for something beyond my magic. As anything but a monster.”
Although this book didn’t have the “gothic”setting I was expecting, it still had a dark, eerie setting, mystery, a slow-burn romance, unique magic and was absolutely fantastic!
The story sucks you in from the very first page as we meet Wren, a defiant, self conscious healer. Wren was such a relatable character. A young woman trying to prove she is more than what everyone says she is. While being a bit unsure herself. Hal was the perfect misunderstood, villain who you can’t help but root for!
The slow-burn romance was so beautifully written and I found myself holding my breath each time they came close to sharing the warm embraces I so desperately wanted them to have!
The only downside to the book was reveal of the main plot. It was very predictable and was obvious about 25% through the book.
If you’re a fan of Stalking Jack The Ripper or House of Salt and Sorrows then there is no doubt you’ll love this book!
