An enchanting masterpiece that rekindles the essence of true love and connection. There is mystery as well!
Many thanks to the author and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Very demure, very mindful. You have the impression of how sweet courting is through this book. I enjoyed how he would put some Persian/middle eastern phrases when he would speak to her. I love how much of a golden retriever he is!

Sweet book, loved the way that she writes and always has some type of ink on her face- it shows that she's real and not perfect.

This was a very cute book. Not quite my style but if you like gothic satire than you'll love this one.

Wasn't sure what to expect....

But I did like it.
Isobel is prone to flights of fancy and someone is feeding into said fancy.
Alistair want to make it work with Isobel.
But something Gothic is afoot.
Recommend.

It was so easy to fall in love with this story. There was conflict, romance, spice, world building, and struggles that just made you more and more invested in seeing things work out. This was written with great detail which really made you get to know each character instead of just being a name you have to try to remember. It was a very satisfying read and you ended wanting the next book immediately. I loved the balance of conflict + relief. It is something so many books lack, most favoring a lighter plot.
