3.5 stars. This was just what I was looking for- an old-fashioned, slow burn gothic story about a British manor home said to be haunted.

Enjoyable moving romance, although the pacing was a bit all over the place.

they jumped from friends and maybe crushing to lovers very quickly but most of the book felt rather slow in pacing
