A bold, fresh story about the ghosts that haunt us and the ones we overcome. Paulette Kennedy explores loss and humility through the eyes of a saucy flapper who may bend the rules, but not her sense of morality. This book will linger in your heart like the fond memory of a loved one.

I'm thrilled to see the gothic romance genre coming back to life, with updated, spunky heroines, not the shrinking violet virgins of the past. Great fun

I’ve been really into gothic novels lately, and this book captured that eerie, atmospheric vibe with a story that was different from anything I’ve heard before.

I love a dislikable main character, but here it didn’t feel entirely realistic. There were plenty of lies, manipulations, and toxic relationships, yet it felt like the novel only skimmed the surface. I wanted to feel manipulated myself as a reader and experience a deeper, more authentic view of the inner turmoil and emotional confusion of the characters. Instead, it left me craving a rawer portrayal of their experiences. The relationships didn’t quite resonate, and I didn’t feel any chemistry between the characters. Still, the mystery kept me intrigued throughout.

Paulette Kennedy only knows how to write absolute bangers, and this book was no different. This story included everything that I love, and thus I loved the book.
