"I think the devil is already inside us. It’s there, behind the wrong choices we make, ensuring we sabotage any chance at happiness."

A Dreadful Splendour is a wonderfully crafted gothic mystery that ticks all the right boxes- it has all the right tropes and atmosphere. The romance felt good alongside the mystery, without overshadowing the central plot. The pace was also quite enjoyable, with an ending that really got me hyped up while also tying up loose ends in a way that felt satisfying. It can feel a little YA at times, but it was enjoyable all around!
