What a compelling premise--a queer romance focused on a teen vigilante who also happens to be the daughter of Mr. Rochester of Jane Eyre fame? Sign me up!
Reader, I could have done without the Jane Eyre aspect. Betsy Cornwell mentions the characters so many times that it detracts from the story. I wish there had been even more focus on Adele and her experience; for a story about a "Villainess" I wanted more, well, actual revenge on terrible men besides what's briefly mentioned. I did enjoy the romance, though, and I'd love to see how Nan and Adele's adventures play out in the future.
If you love revenge stories and alternative classics, give this a try.
