Customer Reviews

Fun and engaging book with a unique multi-story format.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It is a great story (or should I say stories) filled with mystery, adventure, and romance. At first I was a little worried about the book having chapters of the characters' penny dreadful throughout the main story, but I actually really liked it. These extra chapters didn't interrupt the flow of the story and actually tied in some aspects of what the main characters were going through. It's like you're getting three books in one! Overall, this was a great read and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a good, clean historical romance.
