Fine but forgettable. I appreciated that Beatrice wasn't a raving beauty and also that she didn't like being called Bea. Grey I just wasn't really convinced by. Mostly I kept reading because it was inoffensive and because I wanted to see whether the questionable deaths got resolved (they didn't). I am mildly invested in the romance between Gwyn and Bea's brother (who's name I've already forgotten, gg) but probably not enough to seek out the other books in the series.

Very sweet and intriguing series start!! I am hyped for Gwyn and Joshua's book, especially because it has one of my favorite tropes. 👀

I liked the beginning of the book. It goes a little too fast at the end.

Minor: Child abuse and Death of parent

The two main characters experienced abuse as children. There are a few recollections with no explicit details, and nothing happens on page. The hero dealt with physical and emotional abuse, the heroine dealt with threats of molestation.<\spoiler>
