“Beauty is just like a book. Some will not bother to look beyond the cover; others will find the entire tome utterly captivating.”

 

The perfect combination of historical fiction, fantasy and a touch of both mystery and romance! 

 

I love how the author makes these enchanted house that should feel creepy and scare people like a haunted house should be feels magical and playful instead, because of the magic that plays a huge part in the story. 

 

Great writing style which describe the world building and parts of the house vividly, makes it easier to envision these places. 

The magic system is also fascinating, there’s so many different type of powers. While it might feel a bit overwhelming at first, but you’ll remember it easily as the story goes. 

 

Both main andside characters are well developed and easy to connect with. 

I love the banter between the main characters (Merritt and Hulda) – how different they are but ended up getting along together. 

 

My favorite part of the story would be the found family aspect and the enchanted Whimbrel House which just liven up the story with its pranks set for the characters that live in there. 

 

The twist near the ending is very unexpected because I guess the wrong villain, I thought that one person was the villain in disguise when in fact it’s the other one! 

 

Overall, this is a great and enjoyable read! 

I would read the second book immediately to continue the story and find out more about Merritt’s power and family. I wish there would be more romantic interaction between Merritt and Hulda cause I love seeing both of them!  

 

I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the publisher and the author!
