Song of the Forever Rains by E.J. Mellow

If you’ve ever wanted to try immersive reading, this is the perfect place to start. Both the ebook and audiobook are on Kindle Unlimited, complete with the assisted reading feature that highlights words in real time.

I adored this book. It’s quick, low-spice (just one brief scene), and utterly enchanting. The vibes gave me shades of "One Dark Window" or "Belladonna". A gothic-leaning fantasy world that feels just one step removed from our own. Book one offers a perfect taste of the broader magic to come, while still delivering a complete, satisfying story wrapped up with a little swoony bow.

Although it’s part of a trilogy, each book follows a different sister in her own independent tale along the same timeline, making them perfect standalones or palate cleansers between heavier reads. If you love gothic fantasy but prefer it light, fun, and charming rather than heavy or grim, I can’t recommend this one enough.
