Two Timelines. Two Women. One Hundred and Fifty Years.
✔️ Magic
✔️ Witches
✔️ Romance
✔️ Revenge
This book was full of gothic atmosphere and magic, that sent chills down my spine more than once. I devoured the whole book as fast as I could! This is the first story I've read by this author, but it won't be my last.

This book is lovely. The changing from Augusta's present day POV, and Margaret's past POV was done smoothly. I could really tell the difference between the two characters, when we were getting different POVs. I have to say, I enjoyed both timelines immensely. The twists were cleverly woven, and it felt very fresh!
The character growth with Augusta was great to follow. I enjoyed seeing the historical building from a museum workers perspective, and all the behind the scene things.

This is a wonderfully engaging novel brimming with love, betrayal, revenge and obsession.
