Adored this. Imperial Vienna is a fun, vibrant setting for a very deeply felt romance (and a solid mystery) with strong character development and growth. Eli and Maria are so likable and well-matched, and I loved the Wallner matriarchy. I’m not sure a series is planned, but there were so many other rich stories among the secondary characters that I’d absolutely read more in this universe.
Moderate: Child abuse, Domestic abuse, and Death of parent
