Estella's Revenge by Barbara Havelocke
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley and Canelo/Hera for an eARC of "Estella's Revenge" in exchange for my review.
The writing style is easy to digest and even though I had never read Great Expectations so I didn't know exactly what I was getting into, the world was introduced and presented to the reader thoughtfully. Which did hold onto it's promise through the novel. It starts off with the hook of suspense, mystery and murder. This story envelopes gothic fiction to it's core. The dual time line shows past and present actions with how they affect our main character, Estella. Estella is a unique and refreshing character to journey with. Along with the other female characters in this book, she has a bold, cunning and witty personality. Experiencing similar events to Estella, I loved seeing her grow throughout her struggles and become this strong, independent woman. (Those are my favorite types of FMC's). I enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read more by this lovely author
