The first chapter of this book made me concerned that all of it would be quite flowery and difficult to read. This faded after the first chapter - the characters made me smile and hope and feel their passionate emotions as they deal with everything.

Rollercoaster of emotions. A little disappointed in the ending (Spoiler: what’s in that letter!!!! Make them kiss more ;-;), but a solid historical romantic gothic horror fantasy novel.

I really enjoy reading different genres so I was excited to read this horror debut by Isabel. There were moments that felt tense and had me feeling nervous. I read it at night time which was probably the best time as it heightened the creepiness of the house and the book overall.

An enjoyable read, but one I think won't be very memorable.
It's got a good amount of creepy going on, and a nice innocent new bride to scare, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me.
As a debut though, it makes me interested enough to see what the author does next.
