5.0

An excellent read, dark & twisted with the tales of love.  Victorian aged surrounded by a refreshing magical system that I wouldn’t have even thought possible, but Rachel executed it perfectly.  Sinister dark vibes but not in the dark romance way.  More like gothic Victorian society meets Jeckyl and Hyde.  

Spice was light but did not deter the storyline, plot was fascinating.
