The Ninefold Key by Rebecca Brandewyne

2.0

A fairly disappointing read. There are moments of beautiful writing, but I felt like the story was overshadowed by needless descriptions/history (and I am someone who usually loves flowery, descriptive writing). This book is an example of it distracting from the world rather than adding.

An ancient Egyptian curse haunting a family, an abandoned castle in Scotland, the Loch Ness monster, a cartographer unraveling a mystery,, and of course, romance...this one should have been a hit for me.
