The Vanishing at Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright is definitely going on my best-reads-of-2024 list. This book is SO amazing. I was hooked from the very first line, and hated when I had to put this book down. I was terrified, I was creeped out, I cried, I hoped, and I totally related to the characters and the themes. Man, SO, SO good! I don’t even know where to begin with this review, to be quite honest, because there are many important details and aspects that could be spoilers. You know those movies you watch or those books you read that when you finish you’re kind of sad because you know you can never watch them or read them again for the first time? Yeah, that’s 100% how I feel about this book. I know my reviews are usually more: more on character, more on theme, but I just can’t. I refuse to, in any way, accidentally ruin the suspense, the mystery, or the perfect ending. So, this is where I am leaving this review. The Vanishing at Castle Moreau is the best blend of historical and contemporary, mystery and suspense, and character growth and thematic discussion. If you haven’t read this book yet, read it ASAP. You will not be disappointed in this story!

I purchased a copy of this novel in eBook form from Amazon.com on April 3, 2023, in order to review. In no way has this influenced my review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
