The Third Wife of Faraday House follows Emeline as she is shipped off to be married to the mysterious Captain Graves due to a scandal with one of her suitors. Forced by her guardians to agree to a quick engagement, our sweet protagonist finds herself at the ominous Faraday House.
Captain Graves is old fashioned, wealthy, and apparently...cursed. The very grounds of Faraday House are cursed with tales of ghosts, hidden treasure, and dying wives. Emeline is to be Captain Graves third wife...the only problem with that is the second wife, Georgina, is still very alive.
Thrust into a unique situation, assisting in the care of the sickly wife she's set to replace, Emeline must struggle to protect her ward and herself against the haunting forces that seem to keep killing off the women of Faraday House.
This book was amazing! It immediately blended the vibes of Crimson Peak, Jane Eyre, and Rebecca - with gothic storytelling and a tragically beautiful and naive protagonist. Every time I thought I knew where the story was headed, it took a turn, leaving me guessing until the very end!
If you enjoy ghost stories and gothic romance this book is for you! Also I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway (I thought it was an urban legend that people actually won those) 💙
