This was soooo fun to listen to. The narrator Nneka Okoye absolutely killed it. The main cast were so lovable, and the story -while characters were in mortal peril- felt whimsical and fun and even a little sexy 😳 The Duke of Annadale is perfectly dour and standoffish, and Ms. Michelmore a strong lead. Shoutout to Ms. Bickle for being wonderful, like a regency Kat from Victorious. 

I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did, but it really surprised me! It jumps right in and is exciting from the beginning, with curses and ghosts and the first sapphic crush the main character feels.. honestly if you like regency novels, this was so well done. I didn't give Alexis Hall's books a chance before this one and that was my mistake!
