I really wanted to like the book. It has a veeeery slow start which is why it took me so long to finish it, there's a lot of built up until you actually see any plot start to take shape. The author does create a nice descriptive environment and makes you understand each character's emotions and drives. I'd say it has a satisfactory ending and once the plot actually began it was a nice read.

Rape warning is just in case - for use of an aphrodisiac poison, the intent of which can be considered a form of rape by deception. Also includes descriptions of menstruation.

Loved this one and I'm really hoping a second one is made. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed how it went back and forth between Nella, Eliza and Caroline. Lots of magick references. I'll definitely purchase and read again.
