I love this serious lol

Good first person POV fantasy Victorian adventure with some nice tension.

What twisted turn the ally’s of London take is this exciting tale of mystical secrets, and mysteries as caring friendships are formed and history is revisited! All from start to finish a very interesting journey!

Decent just not great.

I really enjoyed this story! That first chapter really started this off thrilling, scary, dirty, and supernatural but it lightens up a big chunk in the middle. And the end really fizzles out just to set up the next book. Spoiler: I’m not sure how I feel about an 18 y.o. and 30 y.o. Will they/won’t they love tension. As a 33 year old, its hard for me to fathom that dynamic but it was fun to read. Looking forward to the development and growth of our main character in the next book.

I wanted to like this book and I tried really hard to. I was, in fact, enjoying it quite a bit but with each chapter the writer made me question more and more whether they actually liked the characters they were writing or if they hated them. Spoilers below Strong female lead turned into wilting damsel in distress? Broody mysterious male lead just a bully and kind of a stupid pseudo-detective? Above all though what really got me was WHAM Frankenstein out of nowhere. You read that correctly. Maybe the author thinks they laid the groundwork there but it really took the story from an interesting concept to a rushed overdone trope for me. DNF.

Charlie was an engaging heroine and the book moved quickly. The romantic plot and denouement were both a bit predictable, but the heroine was likable enough that those flaws could be overlooked.

Someone commented that it was disappointing because he/she enjoyed it enough that they now needed to spend money to continue the story. I didn’t even realize it was free, so thank you to the reviewer. I think it was fantastic, and already gladly purchased book 2 for a whopping $2.99. I would have paid more.

I just can’t wait to read this book 📖!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solid read. Grabs your attention at the very start. Sizzles down in the middle but then gets interesting toward the end.
