I loved this book! It is a really interesting take on a historical drama with fantastical elements. I found myself pulled into the narrative and characters and I had to finish the book in one sitting — I can’t wait to read the sequels. I will say that I found Hannah’s constant complaints about her lack of romantic prospects a bit tedious at times, but it was such a fun read otherwise!

Gotta love it when you find a book that exactly fits your Regency/Mystery/Fantasy/Romance niche but not in the way you expected!
tbh I really liked how the unnaturals in this story are portrayed and while it leaves a lot open for speculation it doesn't let its scope creep too far and made a great little mystery.

Cute, a little gross (which is great, because this is a zombie story), and very easy to read. I'll certainly be reading the next.

I'm in a group that does a monthly challenge. For April the challenge was to read the books I’ve been saving for a rainy day, with the intent being that I find something I love. This was one of the books I read for the challenge.

This was a delightful book that feels like a historical fantasy/paranormal/cozy mystery mashup. It reminded me a little of the Parasol Protectorate books, but without the steampunk element. It also made me think of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I love the regency setting and the take on zombies. Face powder, who knew?
