4/5! This story really surprised me! I kind of went into into it without reading any synopsizes or reviews. I had though I was reading just another dark, gothic horror story (which, I was not super excited about) but it definitely was a bit more than that!
Firstly, I did not expect the romance to be so passionate. And not only do I feel the romantic tension between Violeta (FMC) and Rowan (MMC) but also with Mr. Lord Under ???????????????? I WILL be tuning in to the next book(s?) just to see more of him.
I gave it 4 stars as the pace seemed to go VERY quickly towards the middle and felt like the romance between Violeta and Rowan came out of nowhere? I had a Owlcrate edition of this book that feature a Bonus Chapter that included a scene in Rowan's POV and OMG that would've helped SO MUCH.
All in all, it was a good read and I intend to continue the series and read more by Lyndall Clipstone!
