It was a nice book, it did slowed a lil in between but  author afterwards  picked the speed .really loved the romance there, love the mystery 
Now

Goshhh it really goes on the process about how a woman in that time gets  addicted. And Tom, my god I was really shipping him with fmc until chapter 20, as for Fmc damn she really makes some really questionable decisions especially that makin  herself contaminated with small pox And actually no one was actually there with her in  book except mmc ofc. Seriously it was kinda frustrating tho because u know our fmc is very sheltered and pretty naive.

This was surprisingly good. Kept me at the edge of my seat. I had suspicions about the culprit, and I liked how I was wrong but still close. At least the one person I trusted turned out to be good 😊
Trigger warnings: substance abuse, withdrawal symptoms, domestic abuse.
