"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 5 stars

"Jealousy is a callow schoolboy’s emotion that ends in hard feelings and bloody noses. What I feel for you, Miss Vespertine, would destroy lives."

"Calling her beautiful was like calling the sun lukewarm. She’d blazed like the hottest part of a flame in that dress. And fuck me, I’d felt the heat."

Review:
Amazing gothic dark romance standalone.

Two days ago, I started this audiobook and almost couldn’t stop listening (I had to, for sleep ofcourse). It had me hooked from start to finish.

It has everything I want in a book: a good plot, suspense, angst, tension, slow-burn romance, and the smut in it is very well written.
There was even a point when I had literal goosebumps because things got so angsty.
And the twists and turns near the end had me on the edge of my seat!

The narrators of the audiobook were amazing too. They used true dual narration, so every male voice is spoken by the male narrator and vice versa, which was really nice to listen to.

I actually can sit down with you and talk an hour about this book but you would do yourself a favor to read it yourself so we can obsesses over it together, okay?
