The Awakening of Ivy Leavold by Sierra Simone

4.0

Deliciously dark & steamy retelling of the gothic classic, Jane Eyre. Move over Mr Rochester, Mr Markham doesn’t mess around. Loved it! Not your typical historical romance. Although is a few years old, this deserves way more attention & hype. A smidge too insta-love but who am I to judge these severely repressed Victorian creatures. Very well written and truly does have those eery, overcast and cold vibes of the original. Good plot too with interesting side characters & a bit of a mystery going on as well. On to book 2 immediately!
