A review by elhardenx3
The Quiet Stillness of Empty Houses by L.V. Russell
3.0
This book was not what I expected, but neither was that ending!
This is a gothic period piece about Theodora Corvus who leaves her own spooky estate to work as a governess for the Thorne’s at their spooky estate. Theodora is used to her house, Woodrow, talking to her. But when she arrives at Broken Oak she cannot hear this house. There are happenings in the night that suggest the house is haunted with its own secrets and Theodora slowly unravels them.
The book reads very much like a classic Jane Eyre type romance with a gothic vibe. The book was a little slow moving at first, but the ending does tie together a lot of things I had questions about throughout my reading.
Overall I give it a 3.5 ⭐️. The ending really saved it. I think this would make a great movie if they adapted it to film for sure.
