The Mad Countess by Erica Monroe

This is one of my top three in The Haunting of Castle Keyvnor anthologies! I was so engrossed in it that I read it in about an hour. I loved that they had been best friends forever because it made the story even better and everything happens at a great pace because of it. The rain in the maze scenes are my all time favorites and what some dreams are made of. I loved the detail that went into the witches and everything when breaking the curse (another favorite scene). Finding out a bit more about her mother and aunt was great especially finding out it was a curse and why the curse was put on them. My favorite lines included unicorns.

Claire’s heart is in the right place at all times. She thought she wasn’t strong, but she was because she visited her mother when most wouldn’t and she didn’t run from anything. I loved her spirit and how close she was to her maid.

Teddy is someone you fall in the love with from the start. He is not your typical hero he has many fears, loves to learn, and when he sets his mind to something he does it. I loved everything about him from the way he did things to the openness of his heart. He never lied or brushed off anything without proof and wanted to help.

The ending was amazing! I wasn’t left wondering about anything.

A nice story, very short and sweet. And interesting! I think it would have made a marvelous full length novel.
