For me, I always have trouble understanding why the great love interest dated such an awful person before, though that element works well in the original. But sounds like this heroine was able to keep a pretty level head about the romance. Sad that the paranormal elements were disappointing, however. For fantasy elements to work, they really need to be explained well to me. Anyway, glad this was good to you overall.

I looove the cover, though, and I remember this being featured in one of your WoW posts so I'm glad to see you enjoyed it.

I have a love-hate relationship with flashbacks in the first chapter/prologue, but most of the time it's done right and I can't wait to see the story unravel. I'm so glad this mystery is a good one! I already ship Sebastian and Imogen a lot (also near-royals? Yes please!) "She doesn’t moon over him or obsess about his every move, we can just feel how much the distance time and circumstance have put between them affects her" can this be any more perfect? I clearly need this book in my life! I'm sorry you wern't a huge fan of the ending, but seeing as you loved most of it anyway, this sounds like a great read to explore ;)Siirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-48593433777778544502014-12-09T11:58:05.737-05:002014-12-09T11:58:05.737-05:00I'm so glad you enjoyed this one as well Jenny...I'm so glad you enjoyed this one as well Jenny! It seems to be hit or miss, but for the most part I enjoyed the story and loved the Gothic atmosphere.

It's good to be wrong though. I'll check this one out though when I get a chance, although the idea of the romantic interest liking Imogen's cousin before her weirds me out.
