With This Curse by Amanda DeWees
5.0
Another brilliant Amanda DeWees! As my first book of hers I read was the Christmas short story, which takes place after this book, I already knew how this book would end. That didn't hamper my enjoyment one bit though!
I liked Sybil Ingram as a main character, but I think I love Clara even more. She's a much more down to earth character, and yet is more than up to fighting for the people dear to her.
This is another story that is a great mix of victorian romance, mystery, suspense, manners and a dash of gothic vibes.
The characters who act like real humans, within their societal borders, were a big draw for me, and I enjoyed both the main and side characters tremendously. No one did stupid things just to further the plot.
I was hooked from the first page on, and while I guessed the big secret, it took me long enough to have me thinking and puzzling along with Clara to more than satisfy me!
I'm absolutely in love with this author's writing, and now have to forcefully keep myself from binging her stuff right away, so I have some left....
