I liked how this book brought in some stuff from the Regency Faerie Tales series, but this one is darker and more wicked, with a deeper dive into black magic. The Victorian vibe and gothic elements are done well here, and I really liked the main plot, which is all about the trauma and the monstrous man mixed up in the vicious schemes going on at the manor. This drives the main characters to seek out solutions to the problem. I really liked Winnie, she’s probably my favorite because even though she’s a bit bland, she’s got more personality than the fmcs from the earlier series. As for Mr. Quincy, I didn’t get to learn much about him in this book because more is revealed about him around 80% into the story, so he was somewhat forgettable for a while. The romance, like in her previous series (Regency Faerie), wasn't really the focus. It felt like the two of them suddenly became entangled in a romantic bond without much chemistry. Yes, I found some scenes swoon-worthy, but overall, it wasn’t too interesting, just cute. All by all, I liked it and had a good time with it, especially since it touched on some themes I’m into. Also, Olivia’s writing is super easy to read, which made it a breeze to get into the story. I’m pretty sure this is the start of a continuous series, so I really can’t wait for the next book to happen.
