Quick read

Enjoyable, quick read, allowing me to escape into a romance and ghost story. I enjoyed the main characters and their romance, but at times their dialogue felt modern (not like how I’d imagine 1875 thought-processes and behaviors to be). This took away a lot of the “gothic feel” for me. I enjoyed the structure of the “ghost” and how it affected inhabitants of the house. I only wish the “ghost” aspects of the story were featured more than all the romance. Overall, I’d recommend this book, as the pages turned quickly for me.
