Okay I wrote a REALLY LONG REVIEW AND ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT. Basically:

• The more I think about this book the more I liked it - I appreciate the length of time it takes Amelia to reveal her personality and trust Cam enough to rely on him.
• Cam has everything a Kleypas hero should! I love how determined he is to care for Amelia and help her family.
• Not clear to me how much research Kleypas actually did into Romany culture at this time and I will say Merripen's role in the Hathaway family makes me feel WEIRD. 
• The haunting was so unexpected and genuinely moving??
• The sex was PERFECT. 
• I look forward to the rest of the series but be warned this book deals with some dark themes!

3.0

Not a huge fan of the hero and his ‘possessiveness’ and some of the other characters sort of lacked charm so just came off a bit annoying. 

It was interesting to read a non-traditional Roma hero though and I do like Amelia and her endless suffering as the eldest daughter.

After that one scene in Devil in Winter where Cam stole a kiss, I've been eagerly anticipating his own book. The wait was definitely worth it.

Cam, with all his suave confidence, felt like the perfect match for an over-whelmed yet never faltering Amelia. It was easy to envision these two falling in love, and captivating to read. I didn't mind the additional paranormal aspects in this book, and enjoyed the setup for the other characters' romances.

My main gripe for this story was how unrealistic it was for Amelia and Cam to continuously be together whilst she refused to marry him, with only one character reproaching them. I never had a problem with any of the Wallflower books in this sense, which is why it's such a gripe for me. However, I will add that the writing for those scenes was much better in this book.

After re-reading, this is still as magnificent as it was the first time. This cast of characters is so wonderful and I loved the way their stories are woven together.

Not a strong start to this series, as the plot felt forced and the characters felt stilted and were frankly annoying.
Especially Cam, whose personality seemed to have been completely altered from his first introduction.

After reading Devil in Winter, I really wanted to read Cam's story.  I just love the character.

The Hathaway family is just a mess.  It felt a bit over the top to me.  One sibling is a kleptomaniac, another self-destructive and suicidal, another struggling with chronic illness.  It was just a bit much for me.

I found Amelia herself to be annoying.  I still don't understand her reluctance to marry Cam.  It didn't make sense to me.

I'm not comfortable with the racism in the book either.  It just felt off.  Devil in Winter didn't have the same feel.
