This was my first Elizabeth Macneal novel but it won't be my last. I had a great time seeing how the plot came together overtime, unraveling all the ways in which Bonnie was manipulated, and seeing the characters grow despite the novel's heavy themes. 
My only issue with this novel is one character in particular that I don't think was all that necessary. Maybe
they were meant to be a loose end, something to always haunt Bonnie
, but if that's the case I don't think it translated as well as I'd like into the story.
Still, I highly recommend this book for lovers of historical fiction set in Victorian times & all things Gothic.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
