The Tragic Tale of Teddy Woven by Peter Gray

3.0

This book can be best described as gothic romantic fiction. From the very start, we are warned about the abnormal and suspicious behavior of Theodore Woven, who was the only surviving member of his family and lived in his ancestral mansion.

Through Sela, we get to know him a bit more closely. Sela was assigned the job of gardening in absence of Daphne, Theo's previous gardener. Not only did Theo ask Sela to call him Teddy but also welcomed her into his personal life. Sela does grow suspicious about him and becomes eager to know about his family's past, but even the lack of answers couldn't help falling in love with him. Later in the book, we get to know why Theo asked her to call him Teddy.

I really enjoyed reading the initial chapters that described the beautiful and sparkling chemistry between Teddy and Sela! There is a huge emphasis on their bonding and romance with tiny bits of paranormal activity. I really enjoyed reading about their romance and felt that the addition of a bit more spookiness and thrill would have made it perfect!
