This book was so good! It started off slow but honestly it was good because you got to know each character and their traits before all the drama unfolded. It’s a murder mystery with romance, a romance that should be forbidden. I kept coming back for more and couldn’t put it down.

I have enjoyed this book. I have put a lot of books on Apple Books and I had trouble with KU so I read those when I charge the one iPad. It was a touching story.

Roller coaster ride for a plot!

Loved it. Very well crafted piece of literature.

Excellent!!

This would be my first read of such a particular niche, but the story was very compelling. The characters were well developed and consistent, and the very different perspectives of the protagonists and lovers was entertaining.

Some of the scenarios were a little annoying but it was an ok read.

I enjoyed the book and characters, but I also didn’t understand what time period it was. The front cover looks like new times, but the wording and family rules suggested another era. I am not sure.

This book was a convoluted mess. Multiple story lines, so much back and forth and way too many who dunnit, you dunnit, we dunnit, etc etc. The main characters hardly knew each other before falling all over reach other and were written more like adolescence than adults. Everyone in this book was dramatically over emotional. A headache at best, a waste of time at worse.

The characters were distinctive, and interesting. Author managed to give depth to even several supporting characters. Gothic touches were just the right amount of campy to be fun. Absolutely loved the descriptions of the house where most of story was set!
