⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. The kidnapping of a young woman in the dead of night kicks of this twisty investigation with Hadrian and Tilda in the thick of things, as usual.

Miss Matilda Wren, a strong, determined investigator, and her partner in solving crimes, Hadrian Becket, the Earl of Ravenhurst who, after a near death experience, suffers visions that make him question his sanity, are hired to find a missing heiress and must navigate London High Society. Will their investigation once again lead to a murder?

MY THOUGHTS

I had my suspicions about the first kidnapping, which turned out to be correct, but subsequent events took some very dark and dangerous turns that I did not expect at all. The book left us with the culprit on the run, so our intrepid detectives still have a lot of work ahead of them. And holy moly, that ending!

The kidnappings and other crimes and the villain all made for a complicated, compelling story. Tilda and Hadrian, with Teague, meticulously followed every clue and slowly unraveled the mystery. I was invested the entire time. And that’s not even mentioning the burgeoning relationship between Hadrian and Tilda. I’m so excited to see where the future leads these two.

I can highly recommend this series if you like a super slow burn historical romance with some paranormal elements. It’s better to read them in order, so as not to miss the development of the romance.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
