The Quiet Stillness of Empty Houses by L.V. Russell
4.0
Thank you NetGalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a super original, thrilling and entertaining read!
Things I liked:
- I loved Ottolina. What a little sweetheart. Such a great portrayal of the desperation for love.
- The relationship between Cassius and Theodora is a perfect balance of compassion, longing and understanding. They are just gorgeous!
- The gothic elements are great. I love a gothic novel, and this one delivered. The perfect amount of creepiness, romance, suspense and mystery, with a great twist!
Things that didn’t really get me:
- It was pretty slow at the beginning…I think one chapter would have been sufficient to introduce the world.
- That’s it really! 4.5 ⭐️
