4.0

This was a beautifully, gothic fantasy about fairies and women, objective truth and myths, and a seemingly haunted manor with a deep, dark secret.

The perfect book to pick up during a stormy fall weekend with a gripping storyline, sprinkled with academic mystery and a touch of romance.

I loved how well-constructed the characters were and how vivid the ambience was. This story and its characters were almost palpable. 

Really enjoyed this book and its ambience, and fell in love with the author’s gorgeous style of writing. It was both addictive, detailed and poetic! Will keep reading her past and future works.
