The Quiet Stillness of Empty Houses by L.V. Russell

3.0

L.V Russel is a new author to me I wanted to know what does she have to offer in gothic story. AKA my favorite sub-genre. If you like to read a gothic atmospheric, spooky and intriguing mystery and unexpected plot twist then I suggest this one. I like the writing style of the author because it was a gripping and an enchanting one. It really brings out the creepy vibes for me.

In this story, we get to know Theodora and how she tries to figure out the mystery of the manor she works as a governess and the people in it. I admit I didn’t suspect anything so the plot twist at the ending shocked me completely. That was so unexpected.

Meanwhile, I did enjoy the mystery element and the whole vibes of the story, but I didn’t feel the spark between Theodora and Cassias. But at the end, I do feel like they've come to an understanding. So Overall, this story is well written. I’m looking forward to read more books from this author in the future!
