I received an advance review copy of this book for free through BookSirens and am leaving my honest feedback voluntarily.

This was a delectable, brooding read to dive into right around the Autumnal Equinox. Claire Trella Hill is adept at creating a dramatically spooky setting; I felt a sense of dread as Ophelia discovers the extent of her family's terrible nature as she becomes trapped on her isolated Yorkshire estate. The side characters also have enough depth to keep the romance between Salem and Ophelia from becoming too cloying or overwhelming in its passion; I wanted to learn more about them after the novel ended. I also could have used more explanation of this world's vampire lore--how the hierarchy works, how vampires function with their gifts, etc. Overall, though, I found the story and ending satisfying and perfect for Spooky Season.

Grab this if you're into Gothic paranormal romances with a hint of found family and--obviously--vampires.
