This book probably would’ve felt a bit more familiar and interesting I’ve actually read Jane Eyre, but as I haven’t, it took me a while to get used to the style of it. I nearly gave up about halfway through, in fact; I get the feeling that ‘regency romance’ as a genre isn’t for me. Still, this book managed to add in a fun supernatural mystery element, which I did enjoy; it twisted enough that I kept coming up with theories and then being proved wrong, though in a way I didn’t much mind. A fairly quick read, surprisingly light and fun, occasionally spooky, but overall enjoyable. Give it a go.1
