this was the most perfectly perfect gothic atmospheric read!! (if you saw me reading this in the spring, mind ya business). i am the biggest fan of all things dark, feminine, and mysterious, which is exactly what this book brought to the table. it may not have been the greatest piece of american literature, but it did what it needed to do for ME and for that i say- period! 💅

This book has such a cool concept and I was sucked into the writing style immediately. I think this book does much better in physical form, as I was seeing a large image every 5 or 6 pages and it was the same image. Large images do not show well on my ereader and I avoid graphics novels and other such media heavy books for this reason. I will look for this in the stores and online and see if I can add it to my bookshelf, as the ereader format did not work with my brain, but I did enjoy the story I was able to indulge in.

Thank you for allowing me to sample this lovely work of art. I appreciate the opportunity to provide honest feedback. I am leaving this feedback voluntarily.

Lady Hell by Alyssa Page was one of the most amazing reads this past week for me. The storyline was so good. The characters are perfect and so well built. I rated this book 5 stars.

This was a great example of Gothic horror with a dash of spice. While it seems like a happy for now type ending, I still have so many questions so I eagerly await the next book. The only thing I didn't like was how the reader would find out things somewhat randomly/almost out of order and the author would say something about it but add the character didn't know about so and so yet. I can think of 2 instances offhand regarding side characters, so there might be more. A bit distracting for me personally but still very fun read overall. Great (in a creepy way) artist depiction of Vel. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

Lady Hell was a glorious blend of gothic horror and fantasy! Page’s writing style is poetic and paints a lovely, creepy portrait of a love story. While the story itself is well put together, I also appreciated the representation of delicate themes such as: anorexia, self harm, domestic violence, child sexual abuse, child abuse, etc.

I do wish we received more backstory regarding Bramwell, but I hope that we get it in the second installment. I will most certainly be buying the second book when it is published :)

I really enjoyed this! I was so excited when I got the email from NetGalley that I was able to ARC read this book! I love gothic horror and immediately after meeting Belle and seeing how odd she was I was sold. I also was so intrigued by Lord Bramwell, and every glimpse of him added questions to the list.

I did love the horror elements, it got pretty gorey at times so proceed with caution. But I absolutely loved it! I also really loved the MFF in this!! Florence especially. Though it did get a bit…repetitive.

I’m looking forward to more from this author though! I really adored their writing style and I couldn’t wait to be able to pick this back up and read it again!
