loved it

Revisado: 10-21-21

I have loved Hester Fox's writing voice since she released The Witch of Willow Hall. This book did not disappoint me. I loved the Boston atmosphere and the atmospheric vibes. If you like gothic novels definitely give her a try.

Fun retelling

Revisado: 08-10-21

I'm literally rounding up my 4.75 to a 5. This book was so fun. I get that it's just a retelling of Beauty and the Beast which has been done A LOT, but I honestly loooove the take the author took on the story and I am really looking forward to the sequel.

Honestly I'm struggling to put into words how I felt beyond this sooo I will finish my review later.

A must read middle grade

Revisado: 07-05-21

I love this middle grade series. I think it's so fun and unique. It's written so beautifully and the story is so engaging because it's nothing you will have seen or read before. I always say that this series is a fantastic read aloud book because it can be loved by all ages. The audiobook is wonderfully done as well. Would be a great listen on a long car trip with children.

Okay I guess

Revisado: 06-30-21

I oddly feel conflicted over this book. I really enjoyed the first book and honestly I enjoyed Emily and Anjan's story probably more than I enjoyed the first book. But it's a subplot in Jane and Oliver's story. I found myself struggling to connect with Jane, mostly due to needing a man to fix her problem.... I know that is not at all how it's supposed to come off but that's how it felt. And then the resolve to everything just feels weirdly unbelievable. Oliver I liked in the first book. He seemed like the strong, quiet sort from the first book, the level headed reasoner in the group of friends. This book didn't feel the same. I felt a little disappointed honestly.

Just read it

Revisado: 02-18-21

This was seriously a wild ride. I loved this book. Robert and Minnie's relationship is the most adorable thing in the world. Her aunts' love Minnie so much and the friendship between Lydia and Minnie is seriously so heart warming. The book evokes so much unconditional love from so many characters even with the strife both Minnie and Robert have gone through in their lives. It's beautiful and I seriously will be thinking about this book for weeks now that I have finished it. Seriously I think that this will be in my favorites of the year hands down.

Beautiful Gothic Tale

Revisado: 10-11-20

Oh man this book is a wild freaking ride.

I went into this book knowing very little and to be honest I think that is the best way for someone to read this book. To say the least most people say its a mystery of why an author picks this woman to be her biographer, but I would greatly disagree with that. This book is more of a story about siblings and their relationships. Its hard to explain it without giving anything away so I will leave it be.

After reading it you are left with this compulsion to read it again so you can read it with the knowledge of what's actually happening and see it with new eyes. I kept having to jump back and forth because I kept trying to connect scenes.

The book is soooo atmospheric and has a very gothic feeling to the writing. I really love how immersive it feels.

I was so freaking emotional at the end of the book that it was a bit ridiculous. Even with how dark and twisted the whole story is you feel so much compassion for the characters and hearing their stories can be a little overwhelming. I truly loved the entire experience though. I highly recommend this to any gothic readers or mystery lovers. Such a good book.

Fun story

Revisado: 09-03-20

Well this was everything I needed in a book. I fell in love with Emily, April, Chris, and Simon. The back drop of the Ren Faire was so fun and unique. I think the epilogue was a little cliche and there was a few moments that felt... Odd for the characters behavior, but even still I had so much reading this book.

Great Syfy in interview format

Revisado: 08-22-20

I think that this book is the first book in a while that I legitimately could not guess what was going to happen next. I really love the interview format of the book. The characters were all very relatable and that when things go to shit you can't help but feel like you were punched in the gut. I love the way the book was left off and I can not wait to read the next book. This book was everything I could have wanted to read right now.

Alright but not as good as her debute novel

Revisado: 04-06-20

I enjoyed Hester Fox's debute novel and was really excited for the novel's release. I enjoyed it, but had a lot of trouble getting into the plot line. There is some things you need to suspend belief for, but it's not a bad book. I enjoyed it.
